Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “Many writers who choose to be active in the world lose not virtue but time, and that stillness without which literature cannot be made.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

    “We hear a great deal of lamentation these days about writers having all taken themselves to the colleges and universities where they live decorously instead of going out and getting firsthand information about life. The fact is that anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days.”
    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

    “And truly Philosophy is but sophisticated poetry. Whence do those ancient writers derive all their authority but from the poets?”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
