Know or listen to those who know.
Well done is better than well said.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
You never know what motivates you.
Leap, and the net will appear.
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.
