I'm full of self-doubt. I doubt everything I do. Everything I do is a failure.
To doubt is worse than to have lost; and to despair is but to antedate those miseries that must fall on us.

To doubt everything, or, to believe everything, are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.
Doubt is the enemy of mania. It's trying to get aloft strung with weights. The moment I like writing is three sentences in, when somehow those weights drop away, and you can invent. I cannot tell you the dread I have.
