Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “... 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 write badly because they tell us not only their thoughts but also the thinking of their thoughts.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “There is something else which has the power to awaken us to the truth. It is the works of writers of genius.... They give us, in the guise of fiction, something equivalent to the actual density of the real, that density which life offers us every day but which we are unable to grasp because we are amusing ourselves with lies.”
    —Simone Weil (1909–1943)
