Danh ngôn của Walter Kirn
A true nature is a gloomy monolith, sort of like that old black rotary phone that I had to sing 'Happy Birthday' to Grandpa on. But novelists, damn us, still need true natures - so we can give them to our protagonists. And so readers can vaguely predict how they'll behave when we trap them in 'situations' that they can't IM their way out of.

Bản chất thực sự là một tảng đá nguyên khối u ám, giống như chiếc điện thoại quay số cũ kỹ màu đen mà tôi phải dùng để hát bài 'Chúc mừng sinh nhật' cho Ông nội. Nhưng các tiểu thuyết gia, chết tiệt, vẫn cần những bản chất thực sự - để chúng ta có thể trao chúng cho các nhân vật chính của mình. Và do đó, độc giả có thể mơ hồ đoán trước được họ sẽ cư xử như thế nào khi chúng ta nhốt họ vào những 'tình huống' mà họ không thể nhắn tin cho mình để thoát ra.

- In America, to be ID'd - sorted, tagged, and permanently filed - is to lose a bit of one's soul. To die a little. This sounds like a subtle, poetic notion. It's not. In American legal and cultural tradition, one essential privilege of citizenship is not having to prove it on demand.
