Summary

This quote suggests that American statesmen tend to speak more honestly and openly about their perspectives and experiences once they have reached the age of seventy or have abandoned any aspirations of becoming president. It implies that the pursuit of power and the desire for the highest office may lead politicians to be guarded or less truthful in their public statements before reaching this point. However, once they are no longer under the pressure of political ambitions, they feel freer to express their true thoughts and attitudes.

the art of writing has for backbone some fierce attachment to an idea. It is on the back of an idea, something believed in with conviction or seen with precision and thus compelling words to a shape.You have not finished with it because you have read it, any more than friendship is ended because it is time to part.
