“Literature has the task of molding character. It has the task of glorifying Courage, focusing ambition, directing, and giving life. These are the things that literature can do, and the biggest task of all that literature has is that the writer, in whatever sense, is a teacher. He is a man who explores new avenues of life, and therefore he is a guide into these new avenues.”
