Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “The writer isn’t made in a vacuum. Writers are witnesses. The reason we need writers is because we need witnesses to this terrifying century.”
    —E.L. (Edgar Lawrence)

    “Unrecognized alcoholism is the ruling pathology among writers and intellectuals.”
    —Diana Trilling (b. 1905)

    “We hear a great deal of lamentation these days about writers having all taken themselves to the colleges and universities where they live decorously instead of going out and getting firsthand information about life. The fact is that anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days.”
    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
