“I have hated words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right.”Marcus Zusak- The Book Thief
There's something really remarkable to be said about authors, particularly poets. It takes fearlessness to write knowing that it could interrupted in a million different ways. But that's the beauty of writing, isn't it? One poem could mean a different thing for thousands upon millions everywhere. Millions of meaning for one poem, isn't that amazing? We could read a poem over and over, and wonder and think and analyse it, but we could never truly know what the poet was thinking. That's why books live on so much longer than video games. They both tell a story, but a video will lose that wonder. Books can have the same magic, generation after generation.
I think that's why so people idolise authors. So many people spend so much time worrying about death that they forget record the fact they ever lived. And so they grab bits and pieces of other people's writing and try to twist other's lying memories into their lives.
