Today's Thought

"Any criticism at all which depresses you to the extent that you feel you cannot ever write anything worth anything is from the Devil and to subject yourself to it is for you an occasion of sin."

- Flannery O'Connor

A great quote. But I'd add a bookend:

"Any praise at all which deludes you to the extent that you feel you can always write something worth something is from the Devil and to subject yourself to it is for you an occasion of sin."
