“Writers write to influence their readers, their preachers, their auditors, but always, at bottom, to be more themselves.”
— Aldous Huxley

Simplified Meaning:
When people write, they want to change how others think or feel. They might try to convince readers, get a message across to speakers, or make listeners understand their ideas. However, deep down, they write to express who they truly are and to understand themselves better. For example, a person might keep a diary to sort out their thoughts and feelings. Even though others might read their work and be influenced by it, the main goal is to connect with their own identity and learn more about their personal truths. By writing, they reveal their inner selves and find out more about what they believe and care about.
