"I was born to be an editor, I always edit everything. I edit my room at least once a week ... I edit people’s clothes, dressing them infallibly in the right lines ... I edit people’s tones of voice, their laughter, their words. I change their gestures, their photographs. I change the books I read, the music I hear ... It’s this incessant, unavoidable observation, this need to distinguish and impose, that has made me an editor." Margaret Anderson (1886–1973). My Thirty Years’ War (New York: Covici, Friede, 1930).
