Quote of the Day (Edna O’Brien, on ‘Any Artist Who Bows to Pressure’)

“Doctrinaire opinions are anathema to art, and history has shown us that any artist who bows to pressure, political or otherwise, is a lost soul.”—Irish fiction writer, playwright, screenwriter, and memoirist Edna O’Brien (1930-2024), preface to An Edna O’Brien Reader (1993)
