“What is the essence of the art of writing? Part One: Have something to say. Part Two: Say it well.”
“Having the courage to say the truth, unabashedly, is the hardest part of writing.”
“The parts of me that hurt the worst want me to write something for them, but I can't. I don't know what to say. I'm lost in all this sadness, and so are they.”
“Don't ever confuse the two, your life and your work. That's what I have to say. The second is only a part of the first.”
“What-e're thou art,Act well thy part.”
“There’s a quote by Ethel Person that says: “People should not judge failed love affairs as failed experiences but as part of the growth process. Something does not have to end well for it to have been one of the most valuable experiences of a lifetime.”
