“This is the other secret that real artists know and wannabe writers don’t. When we sit down each day and do our work, power concentrates around us. The Muse takes note of our dedication.

― Steven Pressfield, The War of Art

“Learn to recognize omens, and follow them”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

“Then I felt like having a piss and I did that”
― Bryce Courtenay, The Power of One

“The amateur believes he must first overcome his fear; then he can do his work. The professional knows that fear can never be overcome. He knows there is no such thing as a fearless warrior or a dread-free artist.”
