Indulgence Quotes - Page 4

• We must live for the few who know and appreciate us, who judge and absolve us, and for whom we have the same affection and indulgence. The rest I look upon as a mere crowd, lively or sad, loyal or corrupt, from whom there is nothing to be expected but fleeting emotions, either pleasant or unpleasant, which leave no trace behind them.

  Sarah Bernhardt

  Appreciate, Judging, Looks

  Sarah Bernhardt (1968). "Recuerdos de mi vida, siendo mis recuerdos personales, profesionales y sociales como mujer y artista".

• Beware of self-indulgence. The romance surrounding the writing profession carries several myths: that one must suffer in order to be creative; that one must be cantankerous and objectionable in order to be bright; that ego is paramount over skill; that one can rise to a level from which one can tell the reader to go to hell. These myths, if believed, can ruin you. If you believe you can make a living as a writer, you already have enough ego.

• ... la razón por la que hay tan pocos poetas de primera clase es que mucha gente tiene sentimientos intensos o mentes de primera clase, pero juntar las dos cosas para estar dispuesto a someter un poema a sesenta borradores, a ser tan autocrítico, a seguir desmenuzándolo, eso es lo raro. Ahora mismo, la mayoría de la poesía es autocomplacencia.

• It felt like an indulgence. Going back was painful, but, at the same time, it was nice to live with them again for a few pages. I got to live with my brother again for the entire book. Of course as I'm writing the book, I'm getting closer and closer to the end and I know what that means. I knew exactly where I was heading. It was really difficult, but it was nice to make them come alive for those scenes. It was good.

• La vida es corta; no hay tiempo más que para la indulgencia de la verdadera pena, o concursos sobre cuestiones seriamente trascendentales. No desperdiciemos ninguno de nuestros días en resentimientos inútiles, ni nos disputemos quién resistirá más tiempo en una obstinada malignidad. Es mejor no enojarse; y mejor, en segundo lugar, reconciliarse rápidamente.

  Samuel Johnson

  Sorry, Real, Anger

• Writing is an art but also a craft, which means it's a job. I don't teach. This is how the groceries get on the table. You sometimes make creative sacrifices to get the job done. All that said, I'm looking forward to getting out of the two-book-a-year schedule I'm on and to getting some self-indulgence going.

  Raising up pride, and lawless turbulence,
  Like noxious vapors from the fulsome marsh
  When morning shines upon it.

• The concept of emotional or spiritual survival has an honorable history, but it does invite self-indulgence. In my own case, the worst I ever survived was severe personal and political confusion, the temptation to various sorts of craziness and a couple of bad acid trips. It felt pretty horrendous at the time, and some of it was even dangerous, but Auschwitz it wasn't.
