Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “Already the writers are complaining that there is too much freedom. They need some pressure. The worse your daily life, the better your art. If you have to be careful because of oppression and censorship, this pressure produces diamonds.”
    —Tatyana Tolstaya (b. 1951)

    “Great writers arrive among us like new diseases—threatening, powerful, impatient for patients to pick up their virus, irresistible.”
    —Craig Raine (b. 1944)

    “I have always noticed that in portraits of really great writers the mouth is always firmly closed.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
