"A certain ruthlessness and a sense of alienation from society is as essential to creative writing as it is to armed robbery." --Nelson Algren born on this day in 1909.
It may well be true what Mr. Algren says, but the same is true on a higher plane of spirituality by St. Teresa of Avila. She too alienated herself from society and "robbed" society of other women who also chose being discalced and chose praying for others. What a creative gift that is for us all! And it's free.
