Máquina da Preguiça®
O texto é uma máquina preguiçosa [Umberto Eco]
III Sobre escrever
By VERLYN KLINKENBORG*
Like most received wisdom, what people think they know about writing works in subtle, subterranean ways. For some reason, we seem to believe most strongly in the stuff that gets into our heads without our knowing or remembering how it got there. What we think we know about writing sounds plausible. It confirms our generally false ideas about creativity and genius. But none of this means it's true.
