Table of Contents

Everybody is talented, original and has something important to say
Imagination is the divine body in every man
Why a Renaissance nobleman wrote sonnets
The imagination works slowly and quietly
Sooner strangle an infant in its cradle than nurse unacted desires
Know that there is often hidden in us a dormant poet, always young and alive
Be carless, reckless! Be a lion! Be a pirate! when you write
Why you are not to be discouraged or annihilated by rejection slips
People confuse the human and divine ego
Why women who do too much housework should neglect it for their writing
Microscopic truthfulness
Art is inflection
The third dimension
Keep a slovenly, headlong, impulsive, honest diary
You do not know what is in you
an inexhaustible fountain of ideas
On using the imagination
The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction
He whose face gives no light shall never become a star.
