Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “Most writers steal a good thing when they can,
    And when ‘tis safely got ‘tis worth the winning.
    The worst of ‘t is we now and then detect ‘em,
    Before they ever dream that we suspect ‘em.”
    —Bryan Waller Proctor (1787–1874)

    “The want of an international Copy-Right Law, by rendering it nearly impossible to obtain anything from the booksellers in the way of remuneration for literary labor, has had the effect of forcing many of our very best writers into the service of the Magazines and Reviews.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    “Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.”
    —Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
