Quote by Santha Rama Rau

Really, in the end, the only thing that can make you a writer is the person that you are, the intensity of your feeling, the honesty of your vision, the unsentimental acknowledgment of the endless interest of the life around and within you.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that becoming a writer goes beyond external factors or deliberate assistance. The essential qualities needed are rooted within oneself, such as one's unique perspective, the depth of their emotions, and an honest portrayal of their vision. It highlights the importance of being aware of the boundless fascination that exists in life, both externally and internally. While deliberate help may be scarce, unintentional assistance can be found in the form of experiences, encounters, and insights gained along the creative journey. Ultimately, the development of a writer lies in the individual's nature and how they perceive and engage with the world.
