Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy, you can't build on it it's only good for wallowing in.
Katherine Mansfield
Image
In fact, isn't it a joy - there is hardly a greater one - to find a new book, a living book, and to know that it will remain with you while life lasts?
Katherine Mansfield
Image
That's all life is - something childish and very natural. Isn't it?
Katherine Mansfield

There is no feeling to be compared with the feeling of having written and finished a story.
