« You can put anything you like in a novel. So why do people always go on putting the same thing ? Why is the vol-au-vent always chicken ! Chicken vol-au-vents may be the rage. But who sickens first shouts first for something else. The novel is a great discovery : far greater than Galileo’s telescope or somebody else’s wireless. The novel is the highest form of human expression so far attained. Why? Because it is so incapable of the absolute. In a novel, everything is relative to everything else, if that novel is art at all.»
D.H. Lawrence Reflections on the death of a porcupine.
