If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water.

Imagination? It is the one thing beside honesty that a good writer must have. The more he learns from experience the more he can imagine.

Everything that a painter did or that a writer wrote was a part of his training and preparation for what he was to do.

All you need to do is write truly and not care about what the fate of it is.
