All Writing quotes Edward Abbey’s page
Edward Abbey says writing starts with a clear idea and then saying it well. He writes for the sheer fun of it and sees it as a duty he will keep doing until the end. He also notes that a good book takes all the years you have lived.
![“[I]t is the writer's duty to write fiction which promotes virtue, the good, the beautiful, and above all, the true. ... It is the writer's duty to hate injustice, to defy the powerful, and to speak for the voiceless. To be ... the severest critics of our own societies.” quote by Edward Abbey](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/3ae/edward-abbey-254_character_i-t-is-the-writer-s-duty-to-write-fictio_2428868.jpg)
