"It's like breathing in and out to me. It's like having a conversation with someone who isn't there. Because it has to be addressed to somebody - not a particular person, or very rarely"

About this Quote

This quote by Norman MacCaig speaks with the power of writing as a kind of expression. Composing is a method to communicate with someone who isn't there, to express ideas and feelings that might not have the ability to be expressed in person. Writing resembles breathing in and out, a natural process that enables us to reveal ourselves in a way that is both meaningful and effective. Composing is a way to resolve someone without having to be specific, enabling us to express our ideas and sensations without needing to be too direct. Composing is an effective tool that allows us to interact with others, even when they are not present. It is a method to express ourselves in such a way that is both meaningful and effective.
