Leo Babauta - From the Writing category:

Find what feels true. You'll write a lot, and most of it will be bullshit. You need the bullshit if you want to find the truth. Sort through the bullshit until you learn to recognize the truth, by feel, not by any logical criteria. The truth looks remarkably like bullshit. (Leo Babauta)
