Famous quotes containing the words women and/or writers:
“We’re buying this, but why do you sing the same sad songs all women sing?”
—Katharine S. White (1892–1977)
“We hear a great deal of lamentation these days about writers having all taken themselves to the colleges and universities where they live decorously instead of going out and getting firsthand information about life. The fact is that anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
