Quote: Give it, give it all, give it now (Dillard)

April 4th, 2006  |  Published in Quotes, Writing

Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book, or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better.

—Annie Dillard, The Writing Life (1989), pp. 78-79
