If you're a writer, you need a thesaurus. At least in English, good writing requires that you vary your word choices now and then (this is less the case in smaller languages), and English is just too large to fit completely inside anyone's brain. When you need another way to say the same thing, or when you need a slightly different word than the one that comes to mind, the thesaurus is there to help you.
