I've always been impelled to say the truth. When I was 14, in 1954, I already wrote a gay novel, though I'd never read one. I felt that life handed me a great subject, gay life, that had scarcely been examined, and I was impelled to record it in all its strange detail.
Edmund White

[Vestiges begins] from principles which are at variance with all sober inductive truth.

Gross credulity and rank infidelity joined in unlawful marriage, and breeding a deformed progeny of unnatural conclusions!

I worry about making work more important than what I know to be the truth.

Yet these other messages never stop coming.
