“Even if you know what's coming, you're never prepared for how it feels.”
“I keep wishing, reflexively, for a glimpse of the future, so I'll know what to do. But I don't kid myself. I have to feel my way forward blindly. I try not to be afraid. Even if you know what's coming, you're never prepared for how it feels.”
“Even when you look for it, you're never prepared for it.”
“You have to know how to look even if you don't know what you're looking for.”
“Perhaps this is how you know you're doing the thing you're intended to: No matter how slow or how slight your progress, you never feel that it's a waste of time.”
“If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original.”
