Lynne Tillman Quotes About Essays

• I think those women who get themselves to write essays, it's not an easy thing to do because as women, you're not encouraged to think; you're encouraged to feel. This is a broad, broad statement. So I think those women who go out on a limb and publish essays are highly conscious of how they are writing their opinions.

• Escribo sobre lo que pienso. Escribo sobre lo que me preocupa o sobre una cuestión política, estética o ética o algo así, y luego se me ocurre cómo hacerlo. No escribo ensayos que se limiten a sostener un pensamiento. Tiendo a moverme porque es lo que me gusta.

• I think there's much more privileging of the new in art. I think people want to think they privilege the new in writing, but I agree with Virginia Woolf. She wrote a great essay called "Craftsmanship" about how difficult it is to use new words. It's really hard, but you see them coming in because obviously, if you're going to write... I mean, even to write "cell phone" in a novel - it's so boring.
