I have finally figured out that the purpose of life is to enjoy it.
Rita Mae Brown
Image
I believe you are your work. Don't trade the stuff of your life, time, for nothing more than dollars. That's a rotten bargain.

I'm sorry that our country and the people do not consider the arts as vital to our well-being as, say, medicine. Suffering is unnecessary. It doesn't make you a better artist it only makes you a hungry one. However, to me the acquisition of the craft of writing was worth any amount of suffering.
