Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “Good writers have two things in common: they would rather be understood than admired, and they do not write for hairsplitting and hypercritical readers.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Cautiousness in judgment is nowadays to be recommended to each and every one: if we gained only one incontestable truth every ten years from each of our philosophical writers the harvest we reaped would be sufficient.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    “And truly Philosophy is but sophisticated poetry. Whence do those ancient writers derive all their authority but from the poets?”
