Quote by Susan Sontag
The writer is either a practicing recluse or a delinquent, guilt-ridden one; or both. Usually both.
Summary
This quote suggests that writers often possess characteristics of being either reclusive, withdrawn individuals or rebellious ones burdened with guilt, and sometimes both traits can coexist within them. In other words, writers tend to be introspective, introverted, and solitary individuals, detached from society, who find solace in their own company. Alternatively, they may also be individuals who defy societal norms and feel a sense of guilt over their unconventional nature. It implies that these traits contribute to the writer's ability to think critically and express themselves creatively.
