Famous quotes containing the word writer:
“A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“I’m a writer first and a woman after.”
—Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923)
“People try so hard to believe in leaders now, pitifully hard. But we no sooner get a popular reformer or politician or soldier or writer or philosopher—a Roosevelt, a Tolstoy, a Wood, a Shaw, a Nietzsche, than the cross-currents of criticism wash him away. My Lord, no man can stand prominence these days. It’s the surest path to obscurity. People get sick of hearing the same name over and over.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
