Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “Of all the ways of acquiring books, writing them oneself is regarded as the most praiseworthy method.... Writers are really people who write books not because they are poor, but because they are dissatisfied with the books which they could buy but do not like.”
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    “... writers do not find subjects: subjects find them. There is not so much a search as a state of open susceptibility.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “Writers don’t write from experience, although many are hesitant to admit that they don’t. ...If you wrote from experience, you’d get maybe one book, maybe three poems. Writers write from empathy.”
    —Nikki Giovanni (b. 1943)
