Cheong Liew - Writing

Famous quotes containing the word writing:

“I am writing for myself and strangers. This is the only

them that I know can want to know it and so I write
for myself and strangers.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

“Good critical writing is measured by the perception and evaluation of the subject; bad critical writing by the necessity of maintaining the professional standing of the critic.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

“It seems to me that since I’ve had children, I’ve grown richer and deeper. They may have slowed down my writing for a while, but when I did write, I had more of a self to speak from.”
