"The only thing that is truly valuable is time."
Read, read, read. Read everything — trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.
True progress comes from challenging the status quo.
It's not always necessary to be better than everyone else, but to be better than you used to be.
"I don't have to be human to understand the value of life."
