If you are not afraid of the voices inside you, you will not fear the critics outside you.
Natalie GoldbergWrite what disturbs you, what you fear, what you have not been willing to speak about. Be willing to be split open.
Natalie GoldbergThe aim is to burn through to first thoughts, to the place where energy is unobstructed by social politeness or the internal censor, to the place where you are writing what you mind actually sees and feels, not what it thinks it should see or feel.
