Famous quotes containing the word writers:
“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)
“If writers were too wise, perhaps no books would get written at all. It might be better to ask yourself Why? afterwards than before. Anyway, the force from somewhere in Space which commands you to write in the first place, gives you no choice. You take up the pen when you are told, and write what is commanded. There is no agony like bearing an untold story inside you.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (18911960)
“Writers dont write from experience, although many are hesitant to admit that they dont. ...If you wrote from experience, youd get maybe one book, maybe three poems. Writers write from empathy.”
—Nikki Giovanni (b. 1943)
