“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.” —Henry David Thoreau
Thoreau’s statement put me in mind of one of the most amazing things I’ve read recently:
“We must always take sides.” This could haunt me. Especially when it’s appended with “Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.”
When you sit down to write, make sure you’ve stood up to live.
It’s all better with friends.
