Daily Dose
From Kaddish for an Unborn Child, by Imre Kertesz, translated by Tim Wilkinson
TURNS OUT
"It turned out that I don't write in order to seek pleasure; on the contrary, it turned out that by writing I am seeking pain, most likely because pain is truth, and as to what constitutes truth, I wrote, the answer is so simple: truth is what consumes you, I wrote."
From page 84
