Resist the urge to create.
Resist the belief in the absurd.
Resist by means of provocation.
Resist by means of sickness and sadness.
Resist by means of masturbation.
Resist by motivational manuals.
Resist by doing for others.
Resist by comparison to others.
Resist through the opinions of others.
These are The Nine Bedevilments of Advancement. They live in our
blood and skin and nerves. They are as present and cataclysmic
to our progress as a runaway train thundering towards us, as we
stand rigid with fear on the tracks.
Nick Cave
