My writing practice taught me the important thing is steadfastness. It's not necessarily discipline. Discipline can become a prison. When your spiritual practices become another thing for you to be anxious about, they've lost their usefulness.

  • -- Elizabeth Gilbert 伊丽莎白·吉尔伯特

我的写作实践教会我最重要的是坚持。这不一定是纪律。纪律会变成监狱。当你的修行成为另一件让你焦虑的事情时,它们就失去了用处。
