Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “They’re fancy talkers about themselves, writers. If I had to give young writers advice, I would say don’t listen to writers talking about writing or themselves.”
    —Lillian Hellman (1905–1984)

    “There is something else which has the power to awaken us to the truth. It is the works of writers of genius.... They give us, in the guise of fiction, something equivalent to the actual density of the real, that density which life offers us every day but which we are unable to grasp because we are amusing ourselves with lies.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    “Great writers arrive among us like new diseases—threatening, powerful, impatient for patients to pick up their virus, irresistible.”
    —Craig Raine (b. 1944)
