Writing

“Each time you write something and you send it out into the world and it becomes public, obviously everybody is free to do with it what he pleases, and this is as it should be. I do not have any quarrel with this. You should not try to hold your hand now on whatever may happen to what you have been thinking yourself. You should rather try to learn from what other people do with it.”

Hannah Arendt, “Remarks to the American Society of Christian Ethics in 1973″ quoted in The Human Condition, (University of Chicago Press, 1998) p.xx
