“The life of a writer is absolute hell compared to the life of a businessman. The writer has to force himself to work He has to make his own hours and if he doesn't go to his desk at all there is nobody to scold him...A person is a fool to become a writer.

“Every position in life is balanced by creating a harmony between the inner self and the surrounding world.”
