The Quotable Murr, on the relationship between thinking and writing

E.M. Forster wrote, "How do I know what I think until I see what I say?"

The older I get, and the less daydreaming I have the time, patience or hope for. And the more the thinking and the saying (the writing) become one simultaneous, overlapping thing.

Why do I write every day? Not so much to learn what I think, but to make sure that I think.
