<|endoftext|>wisdom: Discipline allows magic. To be a writer is to be the very best of assassins. You do not sit down and write every day to force the Muse to show up.

19,204

19,205

19,219
<|endoftext|>writing: Why does one begin to write? Because she feels misunderstood, I guess. Because it never comes out clearly enough when she tries to speak. Because she wants to rephrase the world, to take it in and give it back again differently, so that everything is used and nothing is lost. Because it's something to do to pass the time until she is old enough to experience the things she writes about.<|endoftext|>
19,220
<|endoftext|>inspiration: Sometimes letting go is simply changing the labels you place on an event. Looking at the same event with fresh eyes.<|endoftext|>
19,221
<|endoftext|>books: My fingers positively itched to drift at length along their spines, to arrive at one whose lure I could not pass, to pluck it down, to inch it open, then to close my eyes and inhale the soul-sparking scent of old and literate dust.<|endoftext|>
19,222
<|endoftext|>arts: 'Untitled' is a time machine that can transport you to 1992, an edgy moment when the art world was crumbling, money was scarce, and artists like Tiravanija were in the nascent stages of combining Happenings, performance art, John Cage, Joseph Beuys, and the do-it-yourself ethos of punk.

<|endoftext|>relationship: One thing I've learned is it's better to be addicted to things than people. You get hooked on a thing and if someone takes it from you, you can find another source. Only people can really hurt you. Only people can push you out into the cold permanently.<|endoftext|>
19,234
<|endoftext|>education: By 20, you should be smart. By 30, you should be strong. By 40, you should be rich. By 50, you should be wise. But if you are smart, strong, rich and wise, you don't need any age limits.<|endoftext|>
19,235
<|endoftext|>humor: [In the Universe it may be that] Primitive life is very common and intelligent life is fairly rare. Some would say it has yet to occur on Earth.<|endoftext|>

19,250
<|endoftext|>books: I wish we could sometimes love the characters in real life as we love the characters in romances. There are a great many human souls whom we should accept more kindly, and even appreciate more clearly, if we simply thought of them as people in a story.<|endoftext|>

19,268
<|endoftext|>love: There's no limit to what you can dream. You expect the unexpected, you believe in magic, in fairy tales, and in possibilities.
