Mary McCarthy says: In general I would say that men actually have more feeling, and women perhaps more intelligence. I do seem to have some confessional impulse, and it may have to do with my Catholic training. The writer, if he has any ability, is looking for the revealing detail that will sum up the picture for the reader, in a flash of recognition. Ethics came to me in the frame of Christian teaching, and even though I don't believe in afterlife, I'm still concerned with the salvation of my soul. If you don't learn something from what you write, you might as well not write.
