No man or woman is worth your tears， and the one who is， won‘t make you cry。

Separate the processes of creation from improving. You can’t write and edit， or sculpt and polish， or make and analyze at the same time. If you do， the editor stops the creator. While you invent， don’t select. While you sketch， don’t inspect. While you write the first draft， don’t reflect. At the start， the creator mind must be unleashed from judgement.

当遇到反对意见时，即使它可能来自你的丈夫或孩子，也要努力用论证而不是权威去克服它，因为依靠权威的胜利是不可靠而虚妄的。
