Some people are in misery of carrying the entire world’s pain on their shoulders. They are called writers.

About This Quote

The quote, “Some people are in misery of carrying the entire world’s pain on their shoulders. They are called writers” is written by Vladimir Nabokov in his autobiography, Speak, Memory. He states that when he was younger, he had the desire to be a writer. However, he did not have the strength to carry the whole world on his shoulders.

Instead, he wrote about what was happening in his life and how he would observe it. He writes about feelings and thoughts that most people do not notice because they are too busy with their own lives. Instead of carrying the entire world on his shoulders, Nabokov carried only what was important to him.
