So… I stumbled onto these two quotes within a few seconds of one another…
“In order to write about life, first you must live it!”
– Ernest Hemingway (1899 – 1961), writer, journalist
But then:
“A writer doesn’t need to go out and live, but stay home and invent.”
– Ned Rorem, Pulitzer Prize-Winning American Composer
Which is it?
Come on. Time’s wasting, and I need to know.
