Don't belittle yourself. Be BIG yourself.

When you are not separate from the creative process, time ceases to exist. You might start to feel tired and suddenly realize that much time has passed. It isn't necessarily a happy time - and may be very difficult to start if it is a job or an obligation. But if' you start with all the concrete needs and proceed in a thorough way - the creative process will take over and you will forget whether it is work or play. Working in the here and now is one of the most uncontaminated ways to work.

Earnestness and sincerity are synonymous.

Don't belittle yourself. Be BIG yourself.

To be disciplined is to follow in a good way. To be self disciplined is to follow in a better way.

It is a huge danger to pretend that awful things do not happen. But you need enough hope to keep going. I am trying to make hope. Flowers grow out of darkness.

Maybe we are less than our dreams, but that less would make us more than some gods would dream of.
