"This, above all, ask yourself in the stillest hour of the night: must I write? Delve deep into yourself. And if this should be affirmative, if you may meet this question witha strong and simple 'I must' then build your lfie according to this necessity; your life even into its most indifferent and slightest hour must be a sign of this urge and a testimony to it."

And if the calling is true, though we may not have gone where we intended, we will surely end up where we need to be."

"There is a certain calling in your life from the heart of God."
