Of course, in fairness, I must remind you of this: that we writers are the most lily-livered of all craftsmen. We expect more, for the most peewee efforts, than any other people.

When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand. Ideas actually begin to grow within us and come to life.

Even if I knew for certain that I would never have anything published again, and would never make another cent from it, I would still keep on writing.

Your motto: Be Bold, Be Free, Be Truthful.

It is only by expressing all that is inside that purer and purer streams come.

If we don't act at all (express our imaginings either in work or a changing personality, so that we can learn and think again something better) we certainly rot.

When we commit ourselves to writing for some part of each day, we are happier, more enlightened, alive, light-hearted and generous to everyone else. Even our health improves.
