Farmers Quote by Bo Burnham
![“When things [writing] are over, I always think, 'well, I'm never going to do anything again because I have no ideas so I'm going to go be a farmer'. Or else ideas will come and and if not then I become a farmer. Hopefully won't happen.” quote by Bo Burnham](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ec0/bo-burnham-1313_farmers_when-things-writing-are-over-i-always-th_1420317.jpg)
