Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write. You feel dull, you have a headache, nobody loves you, write. If all feels hopeless, if that famous “inspiration” will not come, write. If you are a genius, you’ll make your own rules, but if not – and the odds are clearly against it – go to your desk, no matter what your mood, face the very challenge of the paper – write.

You know how I define the economic and social classes in this country? The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there… just to scare the shit out of the middle class. Keep ‘em showing up at those jobs.

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
Most people who have absolutely no idea what they are doing, have absolutely no idea that they have no idea of what they are doing. It explains a great deal of life. It explains particularly Hollywood. But it also explains why so many people in charge and so many organizations have no idea what they are doing. They have a terrible blindspot.

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a lion or a gazelle – when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.

I live on Earth at present, and I don’t know what I am. I know that I am not a category. I am not a thing — a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process — an integral function of the universe.
aus Vor Sonnenaufgang (1889), Gerhart Hauptmann

Ich hab’ gar nichts in mir. Ich weiß nicht mal, was das ist, Grundsätze.
