“Don’t concern yourself with death. Immerse yourself in life.”
“You must immerse yourself in an unfamiliar world in order to truly understand your own.”
“Seek only light and freedom and do not immerse yourself too deeply in the worldly mire.”
“Don’t market yourself. Editors and readers don’t know what they want until they see it. Scratch what itches. Write what you need to write, feed the hunger for meaning in your life. Play at the serious questions of life and death.”
“You must immerse yourself in your work. You have to fall in love with your work … You must dedicate your life to mastering your skill. That’s the secret of success.”
“In this matter, you should not concern yourself for my sake.”
