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 only think they are interested in politics, they are not really, it gives them a chance to talk and writers like to talk but really no real writer is really interested in politics.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Whenever I’m asked why Southern writers particularly have a penchant for writing about freaks, I say it is because we are still able to recognize one. To be able to recognize a freak, you have to have some conception of the whole man, and in the South the general conception of man is still, in the main, theological.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
