Famous quotes containing the word writer:
“Every writer “creates” his own precursors. His work modifies our conception of the past, as it will modify the future.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“The writer who neglects punctuation, or mispunctuates, is liable to be misunderstood.... For the want of merely a comma, it often occurs that an axiom appears a paradox, or that a sarcasm is converted into a sermonoid.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
“I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an airhole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
