Famous quotes containing the word writer:
“I am often mad, but I would hate to be nothing but mad: and I think I would lose what little value I may have as a writer if I were to refuse, as a matter of principle, to accept the warming rays of the sun, and to report them, whenever, and if ever, they happen to strike me.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
“A writer is unfair to himself when he is unable to be hard on himself.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
“The first essential in writing about anything is that the writer should have no experience of the matter.”
—Isadora Duncan (1878–1927)
