“I can’t quarrel with the limitations which are part of me—everybody has the severest of limitations. You are ultimately what you collectively wish to be. When someone says they could be so much more, I say well, you better get started right now, who’s stopping you? Face it, there’s an anchor tied to your ass.”
– Jim Harrison, in Robert DeMott, Conversations With Jim Harrison, p.131

My favourite writer. And this book of interviews with him is absolutely jam packed with wisdom. It’s hard to describe when a writer affects you deeply. It’s more felt than thought. And feelings are harder to explain than thoughts. I feel Jim Harrison’s writing. The miracle of books: he died in 2016 yet his energy is still being piped to the living, providing me with inspiration fuel.
