Famous quotes containing the word writer:

    The writer who neglects punctuation, or mispunctuates, is liable to be misunderstood.... For the want of merely a comma, it often occurs that an axiom appears a paradox, or that a sarcasm is converted into a sermonoid.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

    A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    You have to have something vicious in you to be a creative writer ... something old-adamish, incompatible to the “ordinary world.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
