A writer is dear and necessary for us only in the measure of which he reveals to us the inner workings of his very soul.

About This Quote

As a writer, you may want to explore your innermost thoughts and feelings. You may want to express emotions that you have never expressed before. However, how you express yourself is a personal choice. Some writers will not be comfortable sharing their innermost thoughts and feelings. The only thing that an author should ever reveal is their soul through their work.
