We Are Born Knowing Death.

The Real Sin Against Life Is To Abuse And Destroy Beauty, Even One's Own.

Trust Your Happiness And The Richness Of Your Life At This Moment. It Is As True And As Much Yours As Anything Else That Ever Happened To You.

In The Arts, You Simply Cannot Secure Your Bread And Your Freedom Of Action Too. You Cannot Be A Hostile Critic Of Society And Expect Society To Feed You Regularly.

You Do Not Create A Style. You Work, And Develop Yourself; Your Style Is An Emanation From Your Own Being.

Be Bold, And Try Not To Fall In Love With Your Faults. Don't Be So Afraid Of Giving Yourself Away, Either, For If Yo Write, You Must. And If You Can't Face That, Better Not Write.
