About this Quote

This quote by Emile M. Cioran encourages writers to be honest and open in their work. He suggests that authors need to use their books as a platform to express their ideas and feelings that they would not feel comfortable showing anybody else. This might be due to fear of judgement or simply since they feel that their ideas are too personal to share. Cioran is suggesting that writing can be a kind of self-expression and a method to check out and express concepts that may not be accepted in other forms of interaction. He is encouraging authors to be brave and sincere in their work, and to use it as a way to check out and reveal their innermost ideas and feelings.
