I firmly believe that a good storyteller's education never ends, because to tell stories perfectly you have to know everything about everything. Naturally, none of us actually achieve such complete knowledge - but we should live as if we were trying to do so. You can't afford to close off any area of inquiry.

Whenever you feel an impulse to perpetrate a piece of exceptionally fine writing, obey it—wholeheartedly—and delete it before sending your manuscript to press. Murder your darlings.

Gold like the sun, which melts wax, but hardens clay, expands great souls.

...She felt that nothing could kill her hope now, nothing. She was seventy-five and she was going to make some changes in her life.
