“authorship is a dubious concept” – Victor Pelevin

“I had never understood my own poetry particularly well, and had long suspected that authorship is a dubious concept, and all that is required from a person who takes a pen in hand is to line up the various keyholes scattered about his soul so that a ray of sunlight can shine through on to the paper set out in front of him.” 

from Buddha’s Little Finger, by Victor Pelevin
