Quote by Kurt Vonnegut

Don't you think that's the main reason people find [writing] so difficult? If they can write complete sentences and can use a dictionary, isn't that the only reason they find writing hard: they don't know or care about anything?

Don't you think that's the main reason people find [writing]

Summary

This quote suggests that one of the primary reasons people find writing difficult is their lack of knowledge or interest in any particular subject. It suggests that the ability to construct proper sentences and consult a dictionary are basic skills for writing, and thus, the absence of these qualities is not the main barrier. Instead, the quote proposes that the challenge lies in having substantial knowledge or passion about a topic, which gives writers the necessary depth and substance for effective expression.
