Because great writers already exist, a writer is driven past what has been done, to where no one can help
Drawn from what Ernest Hemingway said
What Ernest Hemingway actually said
- Ernest Hemingway American novelist (1899 to 1961)
How simple the writing of literature would be if it were only necessary to write in another way what has been well written. It is because we have had such great writers in the past that a writer is driven far out past where he can go, out to where no one can help him.
