Famous quotes containing the word writers:
“Good writers have two things in common: they would rather be understood than admired, and they do not write for hairsplitting and hypercritical readers.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“... we writers are the most lily-livered of all craftsmen. We expect more, for the most peewee efforts, than any other people.”
—Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
“To the degree that respect for professors ... has risen in our society, respect for writers has fallen. Today the professorial intellect has achieved its highest public standing since the world began, while writers have come to be called “men of letters,” by which is meant people who are prevented by some obscure infirmity from becoming competent journalists.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
