“Find what causes a commotion in your heart. Find a way to write about that”
“If you find a way to write with open heart to Diary, a friend with Truth, no detail spared, your tome like Petrarch’s works will contain the scattered fragments of your soul.”
“If you look into your own heart, and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear?”
“I write to find out what I'm talking about.”
“Rings try to find their way back to their owner. Someone ought to write a book about it.”
“I don't write about what I know: I write in order to find out what I know.”
