- No man is an unalloyed genius. Freud was a genius, not a monolithic monotone. He was an up-and-down guy with great human drive. It would be a disservice to portray him the way some people think it would be 'nice' to portray him, rather than the way historians and biographers know he was.
- Writing is a business and should be practiced as such. On days when you think you can't possibly write a line, you do it somehow.
