“To business that we love we rise betime, and go to't with delight.”

“It would be curious to know what leads a man to become a stationer rather than a baker, when he is no longer compelled, as among the Egyptians, to succeed to his father's craft.”

“My experience has been that work is almost the best way to pull oneself out of the depths.”

“A writer writes. Period. No matter if someone is buying your work or not.”

“The simplest man with passion will be more persuasive than the most eloquent without.”

“The important thing is to be in love with something.”
