Failure is a greater teacher than success

The most important thing is to hold on, hold out, for your creative life, for your solitude, for your time to be and do, for your very life.

It is worse to stay where one does not belong at all than to wander about lost for a while and looking for the psychic and soulful kinship one requires

Go out in the woods, go out. If you don't go out in the woods nothing will ever happen and your life will never begin.

I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you, and that you will work them, water them with your blood and tears and laughter 'til they bloom, 'til you yourself burst into bloom.

I hope you will go out and let stories, that is life, happen to you,and that you will work with these stories from your life--not someone else's life--water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom. That is the work. The only work.

Go. Go right now, and as soon, and as often as you can. Keep going.
