NOTEBOOKS OF A WRITER

"The point of my keeping a notebook has never been nor is it now
to have an accurate factual record of what I have been doing or thinking."
                                                                                                Didion

"My approach to daily life ranges from the grossly negligent to the merely
absent."               Didion

'Keepers of notebooks are different breed altogether."  Didion

'The impulse to write things down is peculiarly compulsive one
inexplicable to those who do not share it."   Didion

'We are brought up in the ethic that others, any others, all otghers
are by definition more interesting than ourselves."   Didion.
