April 11, 1937

“Enough of laziness and doing nothing! Open this notebook every day and write down half a page at the very least. If you have nothing to write down, then at least, following Gogol’s advice, write down that today there’s nothing to write. Always write with attention and look on writing as a holiday.”

— Daniil Kharms, “Today I Wrote Nothing: Selected Writings”
