Great Writer or L!ar : The Potential of All Writers on Medium
If Balzac, De Maupassant, O. Henry, hadn’t learned to write, they might have become inveterate liars, instead of great writers — Lajos Egri
Let’s ask the opinion of Balzac about this quote.
The Short Interview with Dear Honoré de Balzac
Me: — “Dear Balzac, If you hadn’t written, What have you been the possibility to turn into a lunatic or liar guy?”
Balzac: “How natural it is to destroy what we cannot possess, to deny what we do not understand, and to insult what we envy!.”
Me: — No! no! Don’t get irritated, Dear Balzac. Maybe you are right that I envy you. But this is an idea of Lajos Egri, not mine! Then..
— “How have you managed to make fantastic stories up?”
Balzac: “Everything becomes agitated. Ideas quick-march into motion like battalions of a grand army to its legendary fighting ground, and the battle rages. Memories charge in, bright flags on high; the cavalry of metaphor deploys with a magnificent gallop; the artillery of logic rushes up with clattering wagons and cartridges; on imagination’s orders, sharpshooters sight and fire; forms and shapes and characters rear up; the paper is spread with ink — for the nightly labor begins and ends with torrents of this black water, as a battle opens and concludes with black powder.”
Me: — Sound Interesting, Dear Balzac!! Another question of mine is Why have you been a writer?
Balzac: “A great writer is nothing less than a martyr who does not die.
— Lastly, What is your advice for newbie writers?
Balzac: All humanity is passion; without passion, religion, history, novels, art would be ineffectual.
— Me: Thanks for the great interview and your books, Dear Balzac…
Yes, guys, I had an interview with Balzac since I craved to find out answers to my question as well as I wanted to clarify Lajos Egri’s quote.
Probably I’d ask this quote If I had met a classic novel writer but as you know unfortunately It is not possible to ask questions to him.
That’s why I tapped into the power of dreaming and writing. This doesn’t make me a liar, right? When it comes to literature, no one question imaginative thoughts. In the real life, Probably people think that I become insane.
I considered how it would be if I interviewed Balzac and made use of Balzac’s quotes.
Writing is an insanely perfect tool that helps you to bring imaginary people and thoughts to life.
Besides, It has been a childhood friend of mine. But I hadn’t written anything for a long time, so I started writing, again. I can’t lie to you. Now I noticed that It has been a terrifying mistake to detain myself from writing.
Since;
Writing is a way to get rid of all craziness of the world.
Writing is a great tool that opens all doors and breaks the walls of reality.
Writing is an awesome way of expressing and exploring yourself more and more.
Writing is a great tool to invade people’s brains.
Writing is a great way to journey to your imaginative world.
Thanks for reading :)
