Quote of the day: On writing

From Walter Benjamin:

Work on a good piece of writing proceeds on three levels: a musical one, where it is composed, an architectural one, where it is constructed, and finally a textile one, where it is woven.

From “One-Way Street,” One-Way Street and Other Writings, p. 65. Penguin Classics. London: 2009.
