“I wish everyone would shut up, so that we could hear ourselves think”
Rose Macaulay (1881–1958) English novelist and writer
Potterism (1921) p.196. https://books.google.com/books?id=9tDSm2WzQxsC&pg=PA196 <br class="br">Context: Jane: What do you think of his book Arthur?<br>Gideon: I don't think of it. I've had no reason to, particularly. I've not had to review it.... I'm afraid I'm hopeless about novels just now, that's the fact. I'm sick of the form—slices of life served up cold in three hundred pages. Oh, it's very nice; it makes nice reading for people. But what's the use? Except, of course, to kill time for those who prefer it dead. But as things in themselves, as art, they've been ruined by excess. My critical sense is blunted just now. I can hardly feel the difference, though I can see it, between a good novel and a bad one. I couldn't write one, good or bad, to save my life, I know that. And I've got to the stage when I wish other people wouldn't. I wish everyone would shut up, so that we could hear ourselves think...
