Know or listen to those who know.
After a storm comes a calm.
Who seeks shall find.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Only the educated are free.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
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.
