Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “We ignore thriller writers at our peril. Their genre is the political condition. They massage our dreams and magnify our nightmares. If it is true that we always need enemies, then we will always need writers of fiction to encode our fears and fantasies.”
    —Daniel Easterman (b. 1949)

    “Writers only think they are interested in politics, they are not really, it gives them a chance to talk and writers like to talk but really no real writer is really interested in politics.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “Some writers take to drink, others take to audiences.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
