We must remember that everything is ordinary and extraordinary. It is our minds that either open or close.

Wherein we discover that many of the "rules" for good writing and good sex are the same: Keep your hand moving, lose control, and don't think.

The muscles of writing are not so visible, but they are just as powerful: determination, attention, curiosity, a passionate heart.

If you read good books, when you write, good books will come out of you.

At the moment our rational mind stops, hits against a wall ... something else happens. And a bigger mind, like a pearl, rolls in a silver bowl.

And we can't avoid an inch of our own experience; if we do it causes a blur, a bleep, a puffy unreality. Our job is to wake up to everything, because if we slow down enough, we see that we are everything.

After you have finished a piece of work, the work is then none of your business. Go on and do something else.
