“Start where you left off; do not avoid the difficult parts”
“No one gets to start where they left off; it just doesn't work that way.”
“And if he left off dreaming about you, where do you suppose you'd be?”
“Is this the part where you start tearing off strips of your shirt to bind my wounds?""If you wanted me to rip my clothes off, you should have just asked.”
“The difficult problems in life always start off being simple. Great affairs always start off being small.”
“If you start to revise before you've reached the end, you're likely to begin dawdling with the revisions and putting off the difficult task of writing.”
