Memoir is actually the most egoless genre, even though it might seem ostensibly so much ego-driven.

If it's purely autobiographical and ego-driven, it's going to fail. ~Nick Flynn
#quotes #nick-flynn #self #universe #ego

Film school is a complete con, because the information is there if you want it. ~Paul Thomas Anderson

In running, it doesn't matter how fast or slow you are relative to anyone else. You set your own pace and you measure your own progress. You can't lose this race because you're not running against anyone else. You're only running against yourself, and as long as you are running, you are winning. ~Amby Burfoot
