If you're going through hell, keep going.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
I can, therefore I am.
It's always too early to quit.
If you think you can do it, you can.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Never complain and never explain.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
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.
