If literature isn't everything, it's not worth a single hour of someone's trouble.


Interview (1960), Quoted in Susan Sontag's introduction to Barthes: Selected Writings, Writing Itself: On Roland Barthes, (1982)


If literature isn't everything, it's not worth a single hour of someone's trouble.

If literature isn't everything, it's not worth a single hour of someone's trouble.

If literature isn't everything, it's not worth a single hour of someone's trouble.

If literature isn't everything, it's not worth a single hour of someone's trouble.
