at bottom, and particularly in the deepest and most important things, we are unutterably alone, and for one person to be able to advise, let alone help, another, a great deal must come about, a great deal must come right, a whole constellation of things must concur for it to be possible at all.
- Rainer Maria Rilke (Letters to a Young Poet)
The Art of the Impersonal Essay by Zadie Smith
You are looking to the outside, and that above all you should not be doing now. Nobody can advise you and help you, nobody. There is only one way. Go into yourself. Examine the reason that bids you to write; check whether it reaches its roots into the deepest region of your heart, admit to yourself whether you would die if it should be denied you
... See moreVictor Hugo once remarked, “Everything had already been said, but nobody listened, so it had to be said again” —and his wise words bear repeating.

A work of art is good if it has arisen out of necessity.
