“You know, they ask me if I were on a desert island and I knew nobody would ever see what I wrote, would I go on writing. My answer is most emphatically yes. I would go on writing for company. Because I’m creating an imaginary–it’s always imaginary–world in which I would like to live.”-William S. Burroughs, in The Paris Review

“The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.”-Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
