The night is a great mirror, but the stars are its reflections.
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.
What's terrible is to pretend that second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better.
