Wherever you are - be all there.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
After a storm comes a calm.
Who seeks shall find.
Know or listen to those who know.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Only the educated are free.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
You never know what motivates you.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
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.
