Famous quotes containing the word writer:
“The Journal is not essentially a confession, a story about oneself. It is a Memorial. What does the writer have to remember? Himself, who he is when he is not writing, when he is living his daily life, when he alive and real, and not dying and without truth.”
—Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)
“I am very much afraid that to the fiction writer the fact that we shall always have the poor with us is a source of satisfaction, for it means, essentially, that he will always be able to find someone like himself.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
