Famous quotes containing the words writing and/or system:

    When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters. A character is a caricature.
    Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    It is not easy to construct by mere scientific synthesis a foolproof system which will lead our children in a desired direction and avoid an undesirable one. Obviously, good can come only from a continuing interplay between that which we, as students, are gradually learning and that which we believe in, as people.
    Erik H. Erikson (20th century)
