More From Fran Lebowitz

I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

The books in mo and meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. there where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. books on the tv set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. they welcomed meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. and sometimes you fall over them.

Literature cannot develop between the categories "permitted"—"not permitted"—"this you can and that you can't." literature that is not the air of its contemporary society, that dares not warn in time against threatening moral and social dangers, such literature does not deserve the name of literature; it is only a facade. such literature loses the confidence of its own people, and its published works are used as waste paper instead of being read. -letter to the fourth national congress of soviet writers

I naturally own a lot of very old magazines. and i enjoy going to old magazines because the advertisements in those magazines tended to have thousands of words of copy in them.

I like magazines. i love to look at a magazine. but the magazines have got to get better. everything pushes someone else to get better. so the internet pushes the magazines.

It seems to me that literature is giving way a little bit to the immediacy of other diversions, other forms of entertainment. what will it be in fifty years? i don't know. will there be printed books? probably, but i'm not sure. there's always going to be literature, though. i believe that. i think literature has a way of getting deep into people and being essential. literature has its own powers.

So i'm taking a stand-and i hope others will-to really live what i believe and embrace who i am in jesus christ.

What really fueled me, and maybe infuriated me, is that nobody believed in me. nobody. i don't even think i believe in myself. part of what i was trying to do was to make the decision to go into business and find the guts to see it through. i was told that when i went in to see the bankers that i was supposed to be very muted, that i was supposed to blend in, that i was supposed to have the typical drab suit on.

I honestly believe that if i decided to be the president of the united states, i could do it. that might sound foolish to some. but in my mind, if ronald reagan can become president, why not will smith?

Just stay true to yourself and true to wut you believe.
