Write Dangerously

“The important thing is not what we write, but how we write, and in my opinion the modern writer must be an adventurer above all, willing to take every risk, and be prepared to founder in his effort if need be. In other words we must write dangerously.”

—James Joyce (1882-1941), Irish novelist and poet, in Arthur Power’s Conversations with James Joyce (1978)
