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)

    “Most writers write badly because they tell us not only their thoughts but also the thinking of their thoughts.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “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.”
