Famous quotes containing the word writing:

    England has the most sordid literary scene I’ve ever seen. They all meet in the same pub. This guy’s writing a foreword for this person. They all have to give radio programs, they have to do all this just in order to scrape by. They’re all scratching each other’s backs.
    William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    When all things are equal, translucence in writing is more effective than transparency, just as glow is more revealing than glare.
    James Thurber (1894–1961)
