Antonya Nelson Zitate

I guess the thing I would say most fervently is that your original impulse to write something is an impulse you should trust, and that if it doesn't work on the first draft, which it hardly ever does, the commitment to revising ought to be something you embrace really early. And to revise and revise and revise.

Ich denke, das, was ich am leidenschaftlichsten sagen würde, ist, dass Ihr ursprünglicher Impuls, etwas zu schreiben, ein Impuls ist, dem Sie vertrauen sollten, und dass, wenn er beim ersten Entwurf nicht funktioniert, was fast nie der Fall ist, die Verpflichtung zur Überarbeitung bestehen sollte etwas, das Sie sehr früh umarmen. Und zu überarbeiten und zu überarbeiten und zu überarbeiten.

The act of writing is a way of tricking yourself into revealing something that you would never consciously put into the world. Sometimes I'm shocked by the deeply personal things I've put into books without realizing it.

Chuck Palahniuk

If you say, 'I don't want to offend anyone,' then don't get on stage. Just ask yourself, 'Do I think it is right? Do I think it is offensive? And do I think that everyone is okay to hear this? If I truly believe this, then I should go and do this.'

Lilly Singh

Our weights fluctuate: Some people gain or lose, even friends who are average size. If I would say 'I'm fat,' my friends would say, 'Don't say that!' And I'd think, 'Are you offended, you can't handle the word? Or do you think I am embarrassed?'

Logic is one thing, the human animal another. You can quite easily propose a logical solution to something and at the same time hope in your heart of hearts it won't work out.
