Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “... writers do not find subjects: subjects find them. There is not so much a search as a state of open susceptibility.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “Many writers who choose to be active in the world lose not virtue but time, and that stillness without which literature cannot be made.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

    “It seems not more reasonable to leave the right of printing unrestrained, because writers may be afterwards censured, than it would be to sleep with doors unbolted, because by our laws we can hang a thief.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
