Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until... - Louis L'Amour

"Actually, all education is self-education. A teacher is only a guide, to point out the way, and no school, no matter how excellent, can give you education. What you receive is like the outlines in a child’s coloring book. You must fill in the colors yourself."

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