I must write it all out, at any cost. Writing is thinking. It is more than living, for it is being conscious of living.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in that mirror which waits always before or behind.
It's a luxury being a writer, because all you ever think about is life.
Writing is so entwined with my being that I can't imagine a life without it.
Writing is a dog's life, but the only life worth living.
It's so difficult writing about living people.
Writing is making sense of life. You work your whole life and perhaps you've made sense of one small area.
I suppose I have an active imagination, and writing allows me to live it out.
I write about living, not dying.
When you use words, you're able to keep your mind alive. Writing is my way of reaffirming my own existence.
I used to think that if I had a choice between writing well and living well, I would choose the former. But now I think that's sheer lunacy. Writing weighs so much less, in the great cosmic equation, than living.
