Five Great Quotations Answering ‘Why Write?’

“A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom. He has no master except his own soul, and that, I am sure, is why he does it.” – Roald Dahl

“Why did I write? Because I found life unsatisfactory.” – Tennessee Williams

“Writers are really people who write books not because they are poor, but because they are dissatisfied with the books which they could buy but do not like.” – Walter Benjamin

“The purpose of writing is to hold a mirror to nature, but too much today is written from small mirrors in vanity cases.” – John Mason Brown

“Writers seek to create order out of the chaos of everyday life, and to extract meaning from both the tragic and the mundane.” – Hope Edelman
