Writing has nothing to do with communication between person and person, only with communication between different parts of a person's mind.

Writing has nothing to do with communication between person

Summary

This quote highlights the concept that writing serves as a means of introspection and self-expression, rather than a direct form of interpersonal communication. It suggests that writing is a tool for individuals to bridge the gaps within their own minds, allowing for the exploration and connection of various thoughts, emotions, and ideas. While it may indirectly impact others by sharing these inner reflections, the primary purpose of writing is perceived as an internal dialogue and reflection rather than interhuman communication.
