About This Quote
Ideas are the most important things in life. Lack of ideas is more deadly than lack of food, medical help or money. There are many people who are talented writers but don't have the ideas. I am a writer with big ideas who doesn't know how to put them on paper. I have to learn how to write before I can put my ideas on paper.
