Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “... writers do not find subjects: subjects find them. There is not so much a search as a state of open susceptibility.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “Cautiousness in judgment is nowadays to be recommended to each and every one: if we gained only one incontestable truth every ten years from each of our philosophical writers the harvest we reaped would be sufficient.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    “Never to have lived is best, ancient writers say;
    Never to have drawn the breath of life, never to have looked into the eye of day;
    The second best’s a gay goodnight and quickly turn away.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
