Zadie Smith Quote
All I write is, to me, sentimental. A book which doesn’t leave people either happier or better than it found them, which doesn’t add some permanent treasure to the world, isn’t worth doing… This is my theory, and I maintain it’s sentimental - at all events it isn’t Flaubert’s. How can he fag himself to write Un Coeur Simple?
