“You don’t write for the critics. And you don’t write for the public. You don’t write for the people who can buy hardback books. You write for a ten-year old kid in a public library somewhere in the middle west a hundred years from now.”
-John Updike as quoted by Connie Willis
(The internet was not able to confirm the quotation for me, but what the heck. It's awesome no matter whose brain it came out of.)
