All children have creative power.

You must become aware of the richness in you and come to believe in it and know it is there, so that you can write opulently and with self-trust. If you once become aware of it and have faith in it, you will be all right.

Everybody is talented because everybody who is human has something to express.

Families are great murderers of the creative impulsive, particularly husbands.

You can write anything you want to,--a six-act blank verse, symbolic tragedy or a vulgar short, short story. Just so that you write it with honesty and gusto, and do not try to make somebody believe that you are smarter than you are. What's the use? You can never be smarter than you are.

I will tell you what I have learned myself. For me, a long five or six mile walk helps. And one must go alone and every day.

...at last I understood that writing was this: an impulse to share with other people a feeling or truth that I myself had.
