A well-written life is almost as rare as a well-spent one.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Writing is a dog's life, but the only life worth living.
It's a luxury being a writer, because all you ever think about is life.
I used to think that if I had a choice between writing well and living well, I would choose the former. But now I think that's sheer lunacy. Writing weighs so much less, in the great cosmic equation, than living.
At least in my case, a very simple, regular, happy life makes for better writing.
Life sometimes gets in the way of writing.
When I say that basically writing is a hard hustle, I don't mean that it is a bad life, if one can get away with it. It's the miracle of miracles to make a living by the typer.
I like the writing life, but it's not something that always makes enough money.
I am writing more than I have ever done. My life has come back to me in the most extraordinary way.
Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
Life is filigree work. What is written clearly is not worth much, it's the transparency that counts.
