Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “Never to have lived is best, ancient writers say;
    Never to have drawn the breath of life, never to have looked into the eye of day;
    The second best’s a gay goodnight and quickly turn away.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “If there is a special Hell for writers it would be in the forced contemplation of their own works, with all the misconceptions, the omissions, the failures that any finished work of art implies.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “Good writers have two things in common: they would rather be understood than admired, and they do not write for hairsplitting and hypercritical readers.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
