A collection of many interesting quotes from Alan Greenspan's new book, "The Age of Turbulence."
Quoted: Venice, I realized, is the antithesis of creative destruction. It exists to conserve and appreciate the past, not create a future. But that, I realized, is exactly the point. The city caters to a deep human need for stability and permanence as well as beauty and romance. Venice’s popularity represents one pole of a conflict in human nature: the struggle between the desire to increase material well-being and the desire to ward off change and its attendant stress.”

An interesting question which is not fully-explored by the article. It's something I'd like to write mroe about in the future as I've always felt that the way I write at my job has indeed changed the way I write creatively, and usually not in ways that make my writing better.
Quoted: Making a living from novels or poetry isn't always possible. Do the paying jobs authors take affect their books?

Perhaps it's not the right tone to be so giddy for what I'm sure will be a sobering reading experience, but who cares? I was very happy this morning to discover via the "Amazon Newsstand" Plog that William T. Vollmann has released a new book, this time going where others truly fear to tread, into the heart of poverty.
