After a storm comes a calm.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Well done is better than well said.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
It's always too early to quit.
The romantic idea is that everybody around a writer must suffer for his talent. I think a writer is a citizen of humanity, part of his nation, part of his family. He may have to make some compromises.
