Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
It's always too early to quit.
Wherever you are - be all there.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
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.
