About This Quote

Language imparts identity, meaning, and perspective to our human condition. Writers are either polluters or part of the cleanup. There are two types of writers: (1) those who pollute the culture with their words, and (2) those who contribute to the removal of the pollution. The first group is easy to identify because it is obvious how they contribute pollution. The second group is not so predictable.

They are usually writers who write cleanly and carefully so that their writing helps others see things in a clearer way. This quote means that writers can either contribute to the pollution or clear up the pollution that other people create.
