Man Triangulated Below Has An Alter Ego Named Andy Moore

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The need to express oneself in writing

springs from a maladjustment to life,

or from an inner conflict,

which the adolescent

(or grown man)

cannot resolve

in action

***

ANDRE MAUROIS

***

In every

junior college

fiction writing class,

the words above are quoted

verbatim but it must be admitted

that the full quotation is downright ornery

To give pith and potency to the meaning

of these words, we can direct

our attention to Maurois'

alter ego, Andy Moore,

who once said

the following

words:

When life gives you pain,

you give it literature

***

However,

Andy would have

a difficult time improving

on Andre's profoundly powerful

quote about a slightly different subject
