Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “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.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “I have always noticed that in portraits of really great writers the mouth is always firmly closed.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “Of all the ways of acquiring books, writing them oneself is regarded as the most praiseworthy method.... Writers are really people who write books not because they are poor, but because they are dissatisfied with the books which they could buy but do not like.”
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
