If the real world were a book, it would never find a publisher. Overlong, detailed to the point of distraction-and ultimately, without a major resolution.

About This Quote

The real world is not an easy book to publish. It is filled with details and situations that are difficult to put down on paper. That’s because the real world contains thousands of tiny little details. If you were writing about something in the real world, it would be hard to keep track of all of those details without writing a book about it.
