Who would want to hang out around the Pillars of Hercules? Only those bent by this passion for writing books. We were absolutely determined to become writers. We didn't use words like 'passion', but we acted them out. Writing was the only important thing. Ian McEwan

The Pillars of Hercules is a public house in the London's Soho neighborhood. Charles Dickens mentions the pub in his novel, A Tale Of Two Cities, and the road that passes through the arch has been renamed after Dr Manette, after one of the characters in the book. - AsNotedIn
