Quote

Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.

William WordsworthLetter to an aspiring poet (attributed)

Note

This tender advice invites writers—and indeed all of us—to let our genuine feelings flow onto the page. It values authenticity over artifice, suggesting that true expression comes from within. The phrase 'breathings of your heart' evokes something gentle and natural, a quiet rhythm that belongs to each person alone.
