A Quote by Mary Flannery O'Connor

But the writer doesn't have to understand, only produce. And what makes him produce is not having the experience but contemplating the experience, and contemplating it doesn't mean understanding it so much as understanding he doesn't understand it.

Flannery O'Connor (1925 - 1964)
