Leap, and the net will appear.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
I can, therefore I am.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Who seeks shall find.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
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.
