“The very impulse to write springs from an inner chaos crying for order - for meaning.”

“Writers seek to create order out of the chaos of everyday life, and to extract meaning from both the tragic and the mundane”

“Order arise from chaos.”

“We create order out of chaos, beauty and meaning out of ugly randomness.”

“What is discipline? Discipline means creating an order within you. As you are, you are a chaos.”

“As soon as we are alone,...inner chaos opens up in us. This chaos can be so disturbing and so confusing that we can hardly wait to get busy again. Entering a private room and shutting the door, therefore, does not mean that we immediatel;y shut ou all our iner doubts, anxieities, fears, bad memories, unresolved conflicts, angry feelings and impulsive desires. On the contrary, when we have removed our outer distraction, we often find that our inner distraction manifest themselves to us in full force. We often use the outer distractions to shield ourselves from the interior noises. This makes the discipline of solitude all the more important.”
