Famous quotes containing the words life, writer and/or work:

    We are all conceived in close prison; in our mothers’ wombs, we are close prisoners all; when we are born, we are born but to the liberty of the house; prisoners still, though within larger walls; and then all our life is but a going out to the place of execution, to death.
    John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

    Only a writer who has the sense of evil can make goodness readable.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    Now you grab me by the ankles.
    Now you work your way up the legs
    and come to pierce me at my hunger mark.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
