Creation and cremation
If you create You have to create alone If you go out with your art It´s like going to a market They backbite and gossip your stuff Simply not that it´s bad But to get rid of you Van Gogh Bach Bukowski Kafka E.A.Poe Thoreau Darger Vermeer Keats Nick Drake Don´t give up Fame means nothing Go on creating Stay calm You haven´t been creating for the crowd anyway Crowd don´t understand art Go to your stool Start now Start again Future will tell

The real stuff
I don´t believe you can be a good writer at 20 What do you know about life?
