About This Quote
The shame of being a man - is there any better reason to write? When I was in school, I read this quote. It made me think about how important writing is. A person’s life is only as good as the quality of their writing. The quote captures the sense of urgency in our lives when we are in school.
The fact that we are in school is shameful in itself. However, when we get out of school, that shame is no longer with us. We are free to write, to be professional writers.
That’s when the real work begins, when we start to perform our work and earn reputation for our writing.
