Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “When writers meet they are truculent, indifferent, or over-polite. Then comes the inevitable moment. A shows B that he has read something of B’s. Will B show A? If not, then A hates B, if yes, then all is well. The only other way for writers to meet is to share a quick pee over a common lamp-post.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    “... we writers are the most lily-livered of all craftsmen. We expect more, for the most peewee efforts, than any other people.”
    —Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)

    “Most writers steal a good thing when they can,
    And when ‘tis safely got ‘tis worth the winning.
    The worst of ‘t is we now and then detect ‘em,
    Before they ever dream that we suspect ‘em.”
    —Bryan Waller Proctor (1787–1874)
