Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
It's always too early to quit.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Never complain and never explain.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Leap, and the net will appear.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Who seeks shall find.
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.
