“What you write chooses you.”
“You were born a genius, choose to write your success story.”
“Do what you do for the sheer joy of it,Do what you choose,not what someone else chooses for you.”
“You don't choose what to believe. Belief chooses you.”
“If you could have a famous writer, dead or alive, write an obituary for you and really puff you up to have been something you weren’t, perhaps, or otherwise take liberties with your memory, what writer would you choose?”
“If you are lazy, and accept your lot, you may live in it. If you are willing to work, you can write your name anywhere you choose.”
