Writing Is Not A Mcdonald's Hamburger.

Clarity And Perseverance Are Difficult In American Society Because The Basis Of Capitalism Is Greed And Dissatisfaction.

The Only Failure In Writing Is When You Stop Doing It. Then You Fail Yourself.

The Odd Thing Is, That I Wrote The Great Spring While I Had Cancer And It's Not About Cancer. It Was After I Was Done With Cancer That I Wrote A Book About It.

I Consider Writing A Legitimate Zen Practice.

In A Way, The Cancer Became An Ally Because It Stopped Me From Running Around So Much. I Was Able To Settle Down And Write Things I Hadn't Had A Chance To Before.
