Efterlysning - hvor stammer citatet fra?

You write a book and while you write it you are ashamed for everyone must think you are a silly or a crazy one and yet you write it and you are ashamed you know it will be laughed at or pitied by every one and you are not very certain and you go on writing. Then someone says yes to it...and then never again can you have completely such a feeling of being afraid and ashamed.

- Gertrude Stein
