Not verbatim but:
Nietzsche: “You only become a man [read: adult] when you discover in your work the earnestness you had as a child at play.”
And didn’t Hemingway say something like: “There’s nothing like a horrible childhood as early preparation for being a writer.”
Not accurate, especially the last, but I think the gist is there.

No worries. The gist is always there in your paraphrasing.
I agree with the Nietzshe.
I understand Hemingway’s point, but am thankful that it does not apply to me.
