Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “Parenthesis-proud, bracket-bold, happiest with hyphens,
    The writers stagger intoxicated by terms,
    adjective-unsteadied—”
    —Anthony Brode (b. 1923)

    “Many writers are neither spirit nor wine, but rather spirits- of-wine: they can catch fire, and then they give off heat.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Most writers steal a good thing when they can,
    And when ‘tis safely got ‘tis worth the winning.
    The worst of ‘t is we now and then detect ‘em,
    Before they ever dream that we suspect ‘em.”
    —Bryan Waller Proctor (1787–1874)
