Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “And truly Philosophy is but sophisticated poetry. Whence do those ancient writers derive all their authority but from the poets?”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “I shall christen this style the Mandarin, since it is beloved by literary pundits, by those who would make the written word as unlike as possible to the spoken one. It is the style of all those writers whose tendency is to make their language convey more than they mean or more than they feel, it is the style of most artists and all humbugs.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    “Many writers who choose to be active in the world lose not virtue but time, and that stillness without which literature cannot be made.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
