John Ford, when asked about his films, said seemingly disparagingly "I just make Westerns". But that is what he did best.
Auden wrote:
"A poet's hope: to be
like some valley cheese,
local, but prized everywhere."
And Peter Ackroyd:
"When Susan Sontag invokes something known as 'world literature, it is difficult to understand exactly what is meant. If it existed at all it would be the literary equivalent of air-line food, palatable to all but interesting to none. I suspect that, for Sontag, it represents some yearning for significance when what is significant can be found much closer to home."
