“Everything you need to know about life can be learned from a genuine and ongoing attempt to write”
― Still Writing: The Perils and Pleasures of a Creative Life
― Still Writing: The Perils and Pleasures of a Creative Life
“This sadness wasn't a huge part of me--I wasn't remotely depressed--but still, it was like a stone I carried in my pocket. I always knew it was there. [p. 179]”
― Devotion: A Memoir

“It wasn't getting easier because it isn't supposed to get easier. Midlife was a bitch, and my educated guess was that the climb only got steeper from here. Carl Jung put it perfectly: "Thoroughly unprepared we take the step into the afternoon of life," he wrote.
