For all the passionate writers out there.

This quotation I came across in a book I am reading. It describes the passion of a writer.

"For a writer a seed of truth lodges somewhere in the soul, and she or he can't stop its growth any more than a mother can stop the growth of the child she conceived, unless it is aborted. It must be---it will be---delivered to the world. And the writing of a thing is just the beginning. Like a baby, if it is to survive, it must be shaped and disciplined and nurtured to maturity. It may then be accepted or rejected, but the writer has delivered it full-blown into the world. That is the writer's job; that is the writer's passion."

Madeleine L'Engle from her book Walking on Water.
