This is what I learned: that everybody is talented, original and has something important to say.

Writing is the action of thinking, just as drawing is the action of seeing and composing music is the action of hearing.

You have to hold your audience in writing to the very end-much more than in talking, when people have to be polite and listen to you.

... the great artists ... do not want security, egoistic or materialistic.

We are too ready (women especially) not to stand by what we have said or done.

If I did not wear torn pants, orthopedic shoes, frantic disheveled hair, that is to say, if I did not tone down my beauty, people would go mad. Married men would run amuck.

we like fixed rules because that ends thinking and we can rest. But there is no resting place down here.
