About This Quote
If writing didn't require thinking then we'd all be doing it. That means that if we did not have to think about the words we were writing, we would not need to write them down and no one would ever know what we thought. The only way we could get our thoughts down is by writing them and if we did not do this, they would go away and we would never get them out.
