Famous quotes containing the words major, writers, classic and/or fiction:

    That is my major preoccupation—memory, the kingdom of memory. I want to protect and enrich that kingdom, glorify that kingdom and serve it.
    Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)

    When writers meet they are truculent, indifferent, or over-polite. Then comes the inevitable moment. A shows B that he has read something of B’s. Will B show A? If not, then A hates B, if yes, then all is well. The only other way for writers to meet is to share a quick pee over a common lamp-post.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    Shatter the icons of slavery and fear.
    Replace
    the leer
    of the minstrel’s burnt-cork face
    with a proud, serene
    and classic bronze of Benin.
    Dudley Randall (b. 1914)

    It seems that the fiction writer has a revolting attachment to the poor, for even when he writes about the rich, he is more concerned with what they lack than with what they have.
    Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
