"You should write, first of all, to please……" — Doris Lessing

"You should write, first of all, to please yourself. You shouldn't care a damn about anybody else at all. But writing can't be a way of life - the important part of writing is living. You have to live in such a way that your writing emerges from it."

Doris Lessing
