Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “All writers are vain, selfish and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives lies a mystery. Writing a book is a long, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “Already the writers are complaining that there is too much freedom. They need some pressure. The worse your daily life, the better your art. If you have to be careful because of oppression and censorship, this pressure produces diamonds.”
    —Tatyana Tolstaya (b. 1951)

    “Even in the midst of love-making, writers are working on the description.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
