About This Quote
The greatest writing is in the ability to say things in a way that is meaningful and lasting. There is no such thing as a perfect writer. No one can write a completely original sentence or paragraph. That would be like saying that there is no such thing as an original person.
A good storyteller understands this and uses it to his advantage. He will not be caught with a half-baked story that no one will remember or fail to inspire with a poorly worded sentiment that might be lost on listeners. A good storyteller, like a good writer, has his audience in mind and will not let them down.
