I feel stupid but I believe it was one of those film or TV celebrities that flashed on the screen or paper.Recent.I'm sorry not being able to help,but sure sounds like a REAL wanker..sorry, an over-paid under-worked fountain of ....Braille...must be a comfort to people who are blind. I really think it was Barbara Cartland,the English romance author.

You may be misquoting. It is quite possible that it Nora Joyce who said (or wrote) to her husband James Joyce (b. 1882, d. 1941, the following: "Why don’t you write books people can read?" Brenda Maddox wrote at least one book on Nora Barnacle Joyce
Oscar Wilde, In The Picture of Dorian Gray, has a similar quote
"He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realize"

It's possible the quote is from a movie. Groucho Marx once said, "I wouldn't join a club that would have me as a member!" As far as the pomposity of the quote goes in describing this author... whether fictitious or not... the only human being I can think of who might have been so arrogant would have to be Truman Capote. If he said it tho it would have been in jest.

Who said what? Search for the topic may perhaps help.
