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)

    “All you can be sure about in a political-minded writer is that if his work should last you will have to skip the politics when you read it. Many of the so-called politically enlisted writers change their politics frequently.... Perhaps it can be respected as a form of the pursuit of happiness.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “Even in the midst of love-making, writers are working on the description.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
