"There's nothing to stop a man from writing unlessÂ that manÂ stops himself. If a man truly desires to write, then he will.Â Rejection and ridicule will only strengthen him. And the longerÂ he is held back the stronger he will become, like a mass of risingÂ water against a dam. There is no losing in writing, it will make your toes laughÂ as you sleep, it will make you stride like a tiger, it will fireÂ the eye and put you face to face with death. You will die a fighter,Â you will be honored in hell. The luck of the word. Go with it, send it."

-- Charles Bukowski
