quotation response #2

"To set down such choice experiences that my own writings may inspire me and at last I may make wholes of parts." (P.46-Jan.22)

I like when he starts explaining about his influences and his writing experiences. Instead of jsut writing everything he keeps everythign updated, and your in his brain. All the influences and differnt things that make him want to write, come together and create a "whole."

"How few who advise you to lead a more interior life! In the one case there is all the world to advise you, in the other there is none to advise you but yourself."
(P.47-April,16)

People cannot rely on society to alwasy lead them in the right direction, you have look inside yourself and figure things out for yourself. You will rarely find peple who are going to motivate you and help you lead a more "interior" life. Advising yourself is what is really important. People will not always be there for you.
