1. Grace Paley on Plot

[Paley] insists that life continues beyond the confining plots of tragedy or comedy; she hates plot, "because it takes all hope away. Everyone, real, or invented, deserves the open destiny of life."

A Jury of Her Peers: Celebrating American Women Writers from Anne Bradstreet to Annie Proulx by Elaine Showalter, pg 462,

Leave it to Paley to so brilliantly express this particular propulsion that in so many ways defines my own approach to my work: Everyone deserves the open destiny of a life.
