On Writing

Nadine Gordimer


• “Writing is making sense of life. You work your whole life and perhaps you've made sense of one small area.”



Gao Xingjian


• “Writing eases my suffering... writing is my way of reaffirming my own existence.”

                                                                         Graham Greene

• “Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those, who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, the melancholia, the panic fear, which is inherent in a human condition”

                                                                        

Anais Nin
• “If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.”
