"A VOCATION OF UNHAPPINESS [Courtesy Georges Simenon (1903-1985)]

BookAngst 101:


Advancing the Notion of (...ahem...) Realistic Advances
: "A VOCATION OF UNHAPPINESS [Courtesy Georges Simenon (1903-1985)] 'Writing is considered a profession, and I don't think it is a profession. I think that everyone who does not need to be a writer, who thinks he can do something else, ought to do something else. Writing is not a profession but a vocation of unhappiness. I don't think an artist can ever be happy.'"
