I used to think freedom meant doing whatever you want. It means knowing who you are, what you are supposed to be doing on this earth, and then simply doing it.

Don't let yourself be thrown away....Continue on no matter what....Continue to make a positive effort for the good.

It's okay to embark on writing because you think it will get you love. At least it gets you going, but it doesn't last. After a while you realize that no one cares that much. Then you find another reason: money. You can dream on that one while the bills pile up. Then you think: "Well, I'm the sensitive type. I have to express myself." Do me a favor. Don't be so sensitive. Be tough. It will get you further along when you get rejected. Finally, you just do it because you happen to like it.

A responsibility of literature is to make people awake, present, alive. If the writer wanders, then the reader, too, will wander.

Anything we fully do is an alone journey.

We never graduate from first grade. Over and over, we have to go back to the beginning.

Handwriting is more connected to the movement of the heart.
