Bird by Bird (Anne Lamott)


The unconcious mind is the cellar where a little boy sits who creates your characters, and he hands them up to you through the cellar door. He might as well be cutting out paper dolls. He's peaceful; he's just playing. You can't will yourself into being receptive to what the little boy has to offer, and you can't buy a key that will let you into the cellar.
