"The personality of the author has nothing to do with his writing. We must completely separate the two. If you read a book by a particular author, why interest in his life? (...) The work continues. If you took out all the son of a bitch of literature and painting, there would be anyone. If you took away the drunks, nothing would remain. If you left us with books in good health, treating their wives well, good friends and paying their debts in time, it would leave us with that crap. "
Miguel Esteves Cardoso
