“A key to a long, productive writing life is finding ways to support that life, emotionally and existentially.”
― Eric Maisel, A Writer's San Francisco: A Guided Journey for the Creative Soul

“Poets are immersed in process, and I mean process not as an amorphous blur but as a discipline. The hard work of writing has taught me that in matters of the heart, such as writing, or faith, there is no right or wrong way to do it, but only the way of your life. Just paying attention will teach you what bears fruit and what doesn't. But it will be necessary to revise--to doodle, scratch out, erase, even make a mess of things--in order to make it come out right.”
― Kathleen Norris, The Cloister Walk

“I am hungry for power, but not to lord over others; only to own myself.”
― Deborah Feldman

“I know of a cure for everything: salt water...in one way or the other. Sweat, or tears, or the salt sea.”
― Karen Blixen
