Don't be a writer; it's a terrible way to live your life. There's nothing to be gained from it but poverty and obscurity and solitude.

I have this burning desire to get out there and do my best. It's as if I'm keeping it all in a little bottle, and it's all going to come out when I do the best I'm capable of doing. Jackie Joyner Kersee
If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.Mother Teresa
