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)

    “Writers don’t write from experience, although many are hesitant to admit that they don’t. ...If you wrote from experience, you’d get maybe one book, maybe three poems. Writers write from empathy.”
    —Nikki Giovanni (b. 1943)

    “If there is a special Hell for writers it would be in the forced contemplation of their own works, with all the misconceptions, the omissions, the failures that any finished work of art implies.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
