About This Quote

The author must keep his mouth shut when his work starts to speak. The author must be quiet in order to create great works. Most of the time, people are too loud in their own life and their own work. They speak nonsense and disrupt the quiet that they need to write what they need to write.

The best way for an author to compose is to keep their mouth shut when the work starts to speak. Otherwise, what is written will not be quality works.
