I Think It Is Only by Expressing All That Is

Essay

I think it is only by expressing all that is inside that purer and purer streams come out. It is so in writing. You are taught in school to put down on paper only the bright things. Wrong. Pour out the dull things on paper too-you can tear them up afterward-for only then do the bright ones come. If you hold back the dull things, you are certain to hold back what is clear and beautiful and true and lively.
