Famous quotes containing the word writers:

“Unrecognized alcoholism is the ruling pathology among writers and intellectuals.”
—Diana Trilling (b. 1905)

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

“All writers are vain, selfish and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives lies a mystery. Writing a book is a long, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
