“Mostly getting old is boring. I hate the stiffness in the bones. I was physically arrogant for years. I don't like it now that I have difficulty getting around. But a certain equanimity sets in, a certain detachment. Things seem less desperately important than they once did, and that's a pleasure.” YearsImportantSeemsCertainHatePleasureI HateDifficultyBoringBonesArrogantGetting OldDetachmentEquanimityStiffness Author:Doris Lessing
“I guess you have to be a little arrogant to be a writer. I decided early on that just because a lot of other writers were bothered by getting bad reviews didn't really mean that the things were particularly important. By the same token, the good ones didn't mean all that much either. So I just forget about reviews and I wrote what I wanted.” MeanLittlesImportantWantedForgetDecidedReviewsArrogantBotheredReally MeanTokensBad Reviews Author:Roger Zelazny
