"So attention please, we’re giving comfort. A splendid fate awaits you, the fate of a reader, and a reader of the highest caliber, that is to say, disinterested—the fate of a lover of literature, who will always be its steadiest companion, the conquest, not the conqueror. You will read it all for the pleasure of reading. Not spotting 'tricks,' not wondering if this or that passage might be better written, or just as well, but differently. No envy, no dejection, no attacks of spleen, none of the sensations accompanying the reader who also writes."
From "A selection from Wislawa Szymborska’s anonymous advice column" (NYRB). Szymborska won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1996, but she wrote an advice column in a Polish literary journal from 1960 to 1981. A book collecting her columns, called "How to Start Writing (and When to Stop)," is coming out in October.
