Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “Cautiousness in judgment is nowadays to be recommended to each and every one: if we gained only one incontestable truth every ten years from each of our philosophical writers the harvest we reaped would be sufficient.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    “Writers don’t write from experience, although many are hesitant to admit that they don’t. ...If you wrote from experience, you’d get maybe one book, maybe three poems. Writers write from empathy.”
    —Nikki Giovanni (b. 1943)

    “Even in the midst of love-making, writers are working on the description.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
