“A good writer is basically a storyteller, not a scholar or a redeemer of mankind.”
By Nobel Prize winner Isaac Bashevis Singer, this reminds me of why I find quotes fulfilling.
It’s simple, and it turns the tables on how we should see good writers.
The best part is finding reassurance in what others have said about what you were already thinking, thus reinforcing your own.
Writings of the past have that advantage over those of the present: if their words stood the test of time, then perhaps yours will too.
With each line you write, you add one more voice to the ongoing performance of life.
Stand tall.
You’re part of a proud lineage of possibility.
