Like most arts, the link between the mind and the pen can chain you like an enslaved workaholic. Even on an intended vacation you suddenly have this killer urge to record whatever the vacation may teach.

About This Quote

Writers are very fortunate. They are allowed to do their work in peace. They are not chained to a desk or a computer screen. A writer can retreat into the woods or sit on the beach and immerse himself in the words of his work.

The idea is that this freedom will inspire him to create something beautiful, but it can also lead him to spend too much time writing. Writers have their own version of writer’s block, where they get caught up in the words of their works and never escape.

  4. It often occurs that pride and selfishness are muddled with strength and independence. They are neither equal nor similar; in fact, they are polar opposites. A coward may be so cowardly that he masks his weakness with some false personification of power. He is afraid...
