Discouraged Quotes
-
I'd written Smashed not because I was ambitious and not because writing down my feelings was cathartic (it felt more like playing one's own neurosurgeon sans anesthesia).

The trick is to learn to accept it, then to like it-and keep on making lots of noise for what you believe in.
Charles Sheffield
