Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers. - T.S. Eliot

"Anxiety is the handmaiden of creativity"

"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go."

"Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotion know what it means to want to escape from these."

"The purpose of literature is to turn blood into ink."

"Whatever you think, be sure it is what you think; whatever you want, be sure that is what you want; whatever you feel, be sure that is what you feel."
