To Be A Writer Is To Throw Away A Great Deal, Not To Be Satisfied, To Type Again, And Then Again And Once More, And Over And Over.

To Be A Writer Is To Sit Down At One's Desk In The Chill Portion Of Every Day, And To Write; Not Waiting For The Little Jet Of The Blue Flame Of Genius To Start From The Breastbone - Just Plain Going At It, In Pain And Delight. To Be A Writer Is To Throw Away A Great Deal, Not To Be Satisfied, To Type Again, And Then Again, And Once More, And Over And Over...

Do Not Work Primarily For Money; Do Your Duty To Patients First And Let The Money Follow; Our Life Is Short, We Don't Live Twice; The Whirlwind Will Pick Up The Leaves And Spin Them, But Then It Will Drop Them And They Will Form A Pile.
