Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “Most writers write badly because they tell us not only their thoughts but also the thinking of their thoughts.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Never to have lived is best, ancient writers say;
    Never to have drawn the breath of life, never to have looked into the eye of day;
    The second best’s a gay goodnight and quickly turn away.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “All those writers who write about their childhood! Gentle God, if I wrote about mine you wouldn’t sit in the same room with me.”
    —Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
