To me true love seems much more contributing to someone's creations than hurting when she hurts, although the greater includes the lesser. [Van 691]

To publish one's own work wields a two-edged sword. One's work becomes available, free of any publishers more irritating than oneself, but one has not met the challenge of satisfying both one's own and their judgment in order to appear. One has neither hindrance nor help. [Van 675]
