Famous quotes containing the word writer:

    “The writer in me can look as far as an African-American woman and stop. Often that writer looks through the African-American woman. Race is a layer of being, but not a culmination.”
    —Thylias Moss, African American poet. As quoted in the Wall Street Journal (May 12, 1994)

    “The writer studies literature, not the world. ...He is careful of what he reads, for that is what he will write.”
    —Annie Dillard (b. 1945)

    “The writer may very well serve a movement of history as its mouthpiece, but he cannot of course create it.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)
