Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “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)

    “Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer’s loneliness, but I doubt if they improve his writing. He grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates. For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

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