Know or listen to those who know.
It's always too early to quit.
Well done is better than well said.
I can, therefore I am.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Only the educated are free.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
After these three novels I gave up writing novels for a time I was dissatisfied with romantic doom, yet didn't see much way around it.
