Why, darling, I don't live at all when I'm not with you.

Clearly I miss Him, having been brought up in religion. But now a man must be responsible to himself.

Courage is grace under pressure.

Write as well as you can and finish what you start.

If a writer stops observing, he is finished.

There is nothing you can do except try to write it the way that it was. So you must write each day better than you possibly can and use the sorrow that you have now to make you know how the early sorrow came. And you must always remember the things you believed because if you know them they will be there in the writing and you won’t betray them. The writing is the only progress you make.

The only kind of writing is rewriting.
