|  Families are great murderers of the creative impulse, particularly husbands. | | All children have creative power. | | The tragedy of bold, forthright, industrious people is that they act so continuously without much thinking, that it becomes dry and empty. | | I learned that you should feel when writing, not like Lord Byron on a mountain top, but like child stringing beads in kindergarten, - happy, absorbed and quietly putting one bead on after another. | | Even if I knew for certain that I would never have anything published again, and would never make another cent from it, I would still keep on writing. | | Sometimes I think of life as a process where everybody is discouraging and taking everybody else down a peg or two. | | This is what I learned: that everybody is talented, original and has something important to say. | | It is so conceited and timid to be ashamed of one's mistakes. Of course they are mistakes. Go on to the next. |
