Famous quotes containing the word writers:

The writers stagger intoxicated by terms,
adjective-unsteadied—”
—Anthony Brode (b. 1923)

“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.”
