Know or listen to those who know.
I can, therefore I am.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Never complain and never explain.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Do not weep do not wax indignant. Understand.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
I wrote some bad poetry that I published in North African journals, but even as I withdrew into this reading, I also led the life of a kind of young hooligan.
