Forget your personal tragedy. We are all bitched from the start and you
especially have to hurt like hell before you can write seriously. But
when you get the damned hurt use it - don’t cheat with it. Be as faithful
to it as a scientist - but don’t think anything is of any importance
because it happens to you or anyone belonging to you.
Ernest Hemingway, Letter to Scott Fitzgerald, dated 28 May 1934
