“Happiness is not something you acquire; love is not something you produce; love is not something you have; love is something that has you.”

“Halfway through any work, one is often tempted to go off on a tangent. Once you have yielded, you will be tempted to yield again and again... Finally, you would only produce something hybrid.”
