No amount of learned skills can substitute for the feeling of having a lot to say, of bringing news. Memories, impressions, and emotions from your first
20 years on earth are most writers' main material; little that comes afterward
is quite so rich and resonant. By the age of 40, you have probably mined the
purest veins of this precious lode; after that, continued creativity is a
matter of sifting the leavings.
—John Updike
