"Pas de larmes chez l'écrivain, pas de larmes chez le lecteur. Pas de surprise chez l'écrivain, pas de surprise chez le lecteur."
— Robert Frost
Simplified Meaning:
When the writer doesn't feel strong emotions while writing, the reader won't feel those emotions either. If the writer isn't surprised, the reader won't be surprised.
