Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of living authentically and not compromising one's true self. It questions the rationale behind sacrificing something genuine and beautiful to create something fake or inauthentic. It suggests that it is more valuable and fulfilling to embrace and express one's true identity, rather than conforming to societal expectations or pursuing artificiality. Living authentically enables individuals to maintain their integrity, experience true joy, and cultivate genuine relationships, rather than settling for a pretense that lacks genuine worth.

There are, first of all, two kinds of authors: those who write for the subject's sake, and those who write for writing's sake.
