Writes

Famous quotes containing the word writes:

“It’s not a matter of old or new forms; a person writes without thinking about any forms, he writes because it flows freely from his soul.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“The writer can choose what he writes about but he cannot choose what he is able to make live.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

“Open the envelope quickly,
O this is not our son’s writing, yet his name is sign’d,
O a strange hand writes for our dear son, O stricken mother’s soul!
All swims before her eyes, flashes with black, she catches the main
words only,
Sentences broken, gunshot wound in the breast, cavalry skirmish, taken to hospital,
At present low, but will soon be better.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
