Jack Kerouac, Beat movement author of On the Road:

“When the question is therefore asked, ‘Are writers born or made?’ one should first ask, ‘Do you mean writers of talent or writers of originality?’ Because everybody can write but not everybody invents new forms of writing. Gertrude Stein invented new forms of writing and her imitators are just ‘talents.’”
