Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “... writers do not find subjects: subjects find them. There is not so much a search as a state of open susceptibility.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “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)

    “The writer isn’t made in a vacuum. Writers are witnesses. The reason we need writers is because we need witnesses to this terrifying century.”
    —E.L. (Edgar Lawrence)
