Famous quotes containing the words bad and/or writing:
“All good men are international. Nearly all bad men are cosmopolitan. If we are to be international we must be national.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“All writers are vain, selfish and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives lies a mystery. Writing a book is a long, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness.
