Despite the mistakes I may have made, my voice was heard, because I was convinced and passionate. In today's appalling hullabaloo, I've sometimes managed to make myself heard. Refuse me everything, argue and deny. I have done literature the service of freeing it from the heavy and stupid pile of politics under which it grumbles, buried alive. When I would have served no other purpose, when I would simply have appeared to ignite literary quarrels, to have been overwhelmed by insults, to rouse letters from their slumber by my battle, well, I think that all writers, especially young ones, should be a little grateful to me. (Preface toA Campaign, p. IX)
