Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.

An hour of planning can say you 10 hours of doing.

I think that, as life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of his time at peril of being judged not to have lived.

It is none of their business that you have to learn how to write. Let them think you were born that way.

No thing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.

I’m an idealist. I don’t know where I’m going but I’m on my way.

Every act you have ever performed since the day you were born was performed because you wanted something.
