Write

Famous quotes containing the word write:

“One reason writers write is out of revenge. Life hurts; certain ideas and experiences hurt; one wants to clarify, to set out illuminations, to replay the old bad scenes and get the Treppenworte said—the words one didn’t have the strength or ripeness to say when those words were necessary for one’s dignity or survival.”
—Cynthia Ozick (b. 1928)

“I would write of the universal, not the provincial, in human nature.... I would write of characters, not of characteristics.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)

“Lovers who love truly do not write down their happiness.”
—Anatole France (1844–1924)
