| Doris Lessing
Above all, intelligence forbids tears.All sanity depends on this: that it should be a delight to feel heat strike the skin, a delight to stand upright, knowing the bones are moving easily under the flesh. And then, not expecting it, you become middle-aged and anonymous. No one notices you. You achieve a wonderful freedom. Any human anywhere will blossom in a hundred unexpected talents and capacities simply by being given the opportunity to do so. I don't know much about creative writing programs. But they're not telling the truth if they don't teach, one, that writing is hard work, and, two, that you have to give up a great deal of life, your personal life, to be a writer. If a fish is the movement of water embodied, given shape, then cat is a diagram and pattern of subtle air. In the writing process, the more a story cooks, the better. That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you've understood all your life, but in a new way. Trust no friend without faults, and love a woman, but no angel. What is a hero without love for mankind. |
