ON FRIENDS, FAMILY & RELATIONSHIPS
Writing is a solitary occupation. Family, friends, and society are the natural enemies of a writer. He must be alone, uninterrupted, and slightly savage if he is to sustain and complete an undertaking.
- Lawrence Clark Powell
I felt like you can write forever, but you have a short time to raise a family. And I think a family is a lot more important than writing.
- Ken Kesey
