Maybe money is unreal for most of us, easier to give away than things we want.
Things start out as hopes and end up as habits.
It doesn't pay well to fight for what we believe in.
If I had to give young writers advice, I would say don't listen to writers talking about writing or themselves.
It was an unspoken pleasure, that having come together so many years, ruined so much and repaired a little, we had endured.
I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions.
