Words for Wednesday

I like this quote from author Norman Mailer (1923-2007) though I think it applies to everyone, not just writers.

“The writer can grow as a person or he can shrink. ...
His curiosity, his reaction to life must not diminish.
The fatal thing is to shrink, to be interested in less,
sympathetic to less, desiccating to the point where
life itself loses its flavor, and one’s passion for
human understanding changes to weariness
and distaste.”
