• Problems, however, are rarely solved on the spur of the moment. They must be organized and dissected, then key issues isolated and defined. A period of gestation then sets in, during which these issues are mulled over. You put them in your mind and consciously or unconsciously work at them at odd hours of the day or night - even at work. It is somewhat analogous to trying to place a name on the face of someone you've met before. Often the solution to a problem comes to you in much the same way you eventually recall the name.

• El nacimiento de un verdadero poeta no es un acontecimiento insignificante ni un parto fácil. Las complicaciones suelen comenzar mucho antes de que el alma predestinada lleve su dudosa luz al vientre que haya tenido la amabilidad de ofrecer voluntariamente la intrincada maquinaria de su sangre y sus oraciones y músculos durante un período de gestación mucho más largo que nueve meses o incluso nueve años.

• Of course, such judicial misconstruction theoretically can be cured by constitutional amendment. But the period of gestation of a constitutional amendment, or of any law reform, is reckoned in decades usually; in years, at least. And, after all, as the Court itself asserted in overruling the minimum-wage cases, it may not be the Constitution that was at fault.

• I know there are writers who get up every morning and sit by their typewriter or word processor or pad of paper and wait to write. I don't function that way. I go through a long period of gestation before I'm even ready to write.

• Una escritora trabaja a partir del material que tiene, pero procede del inconsciente. Todo está almacenado y nunca se sabe lo que sale a la superficie en un momento dado. Sin duda es necesario un periodo de gestación, lo que Wordsworth llamaba "la emoción recogida en la tranquilidad". No se puede escribir sobre una experiencia cuando se está viviéndola, sufriéndola. Estás demasiado ocupado sobreviviendo como para mirarla con objetividad. Al menos yo no puedo.
