It is best to act with confidence, no matter how little right you have to it.
Nothing you write, if you hope to be good, will ever come out as you first hoped.
If you believe, as the Greeks did, that man is at the mercy of the gods, then you write tragedy. The end is inevitable from the beginning. But if you believe that man can solve his own problems and is at nobody's mercy, then you will probably write melodrama.
Truth made you a traitor as it often does in a time of scoundrels.
