Famous quotes containing the words writers and/or scholars:

    “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)

    “You should look straight at a film; that’s the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.”
    —Werner Herzog (b. 1942)
