Famous quotes containing the word writers:
“Parenthesis-proud, bracket-bold, happiest with hyphens,
The writers stagger intoxicated by terms,
adjective-unsteadied—”
—Anthony Brode (b. 1923)
“Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.”

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.”
