There's no "magic secret"; writing is like everything else; ten percent inspiration or talent, and ninety percent hard work. Persistence; keeping at it till you get there. As Agnes de Mille said, it means working every day—bored, tired, weary, or with a fever of a hundred and two.

A babe at the breast is as much pleasure as the bearing is pain.

I have called on the Goddess and found her within myself

The older I grow the more I become certain that it makes no difference what words we use to tell the same truths.

From these Christians who came to [Avalon] to escape the bigotry of their own kind I learned something, at last, of the Nazarene, the carpenter's son who had attained Godhead in his own life and preached a rule of tolerance; and so I came to see that my quarrel was never with the Christ, but with his foolish and narrow priests who mistook their own narrowness for his.

All gods are one god.

The Goddess does not shower her gifts on those who reject them.
