American Writers

Famous quotes containing the words american and/or writers:

    The new American finds his challenge and his love in the traffic-choked streets, skies nested in smog, choking with the acids of industry, the screech of rubber and houses leashed in against one another while the townlets wither a time and die.
    John Steinbeck (1902–1968)

    Good writers have two things in common: they would rather be understood than admired, and they do not write for hairsplitting and hypercritical readers.
