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)

    “All you can be sure about in a political-minded writer is that if his work should last you will have to skip the politics when you read it. Many of the so-called politically enlisted writers change their politics frequently.... Perhaps it can be respected as a form of the pursuit of happiness.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “The nation that complacently and fearfully allows its artists and writers to become suspected rather than respected is no longer regarded as a nation possessed with humor in depth.”
    —James Thurber (1894–1961)
