The Return of the Author, by Eugen Simion:
On Sartre’s Les Mots —
The craft of writing appeared to me as an adult activity, so ponderously serious, so trifling, and, at bottom, so lacking in interest that I didn’t doubt for a moment that it was in store for me. I said to myself both ‘that’s all it is’ and ‘I am gifted.’ Like all dreamers, I confused disenchantment with truth.”
This is given in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations (1999) as
Like all dreamers, I mistook disenchantment for truth.
