About This Quote
A book is the only immortality. The best way to preserve your memories from the past is to write them down. Depending on the type of writing you choose, you can create a legacy that will last for generations. If you write about your life, you can preserve it forever.
This is why many writers spend hours crafting their stories. However, you don’t have to write a story or autobiography in order to create an everlasting legacy. You can write poetry, essays, short stories, anything that puts your thoughts and feelings on paper.
Your story will be preserved for years to come if you choose to record it.
