Famous quotes containing the word writers:
“Whenever Im asked why Southern writers particularly have a penchant for writing about freaks, I say it is because we are still able to recognize one. To be able to recognize a freak, you have to have some conception of the whole man, and in the South the general conception of man is still, in the main, theological.”
—Flannery OConnor (19251964)
“Many writers are neither spirit nor wine, but rather spirits- of-wine: they can catch fire, and then they give off heat.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“Most writers steal a good thing when they can,
And when tis safely got tis worth the winning.
The worst of t is we now and then detect em,
Before they ever dream that we suspect em.”
—Bryan Waller Proctor (17871874)
