“Writing is not a profession but a vocation of unhappiness”
Georges Simenon
““A writer's goal is to weave the ordinary into fine silk and the truly extraordinary into diaphanous clarity ...””
CJ Heck
““We writers are a crazy bunch. I can't think of any other profession where the actual work is deep inside, uncomfortable there, and wanting out.””
“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“There is only one cause of unhappiness: the false beliefs you have in your head, beliefs so widespread, so commonly held, that it never occurs to you to question them.”
Anthony de Mello
“I think writing about unhappiness is probably the source of my popularity, if I have any-after all, most people are unhappy, don't you think?”
Philip Larkin
“All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy.”
Wayne Dyer
