"الكاتب الذي لا يكتب هو وحش يغوي الجنون"
— Franz Kafka
Simplified Meaning:
When a writer stops writing, it can feel like they're going crazy. It's similar to if a painter no longer had paint or a musician had to give up music. Imagine how frustrating it would feel for someone who loves doing something but isn't able to do it anymore. That's how a writer feels without their writing – confused and stuck. If you love to write, it's important to keep writing to stay happy and sane. This advice is like telling people to keep doing what they love to stay fulfilled and avoid feeling lost.
