I'm thinking about this quote, from a book by Jordan Ellenburg called How Not To Be Wrong.
From a letter while Skinner was still a writer not a psychologist:
"..."Frost wrote to Skinner...'all that makes a writer is the ability to write strongly and directly from some unaccountable and invincible personal prejudice.
I take it that everybody has the prejudice, abd spends some time feeling for it to speak and erite from.
But most people end as they begin, by acting out the prejudices of other people.'"
