>Whereas any sentence one has to write requires a pretense of invention, it takes little enough attention to enter into a text, even a difficult one. To scribble a postcard comes closer to a creative activity than to read The Phenomenology of Mind. — E. M. Cioran

I just now realize how all the voracious reading I've been doing lately is just a way of procrastinating from the writing I know I have to complete.
