“One must have consideration for those less gifted than oneself.”
“For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it.”
“One must have tradition in oneself, to hate it properly.”
“One truly must have suffered oneself to help others.”
“When writing about oneself, one must strive to be truthful. Truth is more important than modesty.”
“One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.”
