Famous quotes containing the word writer:

    “I perceived that to express those impressions, to write that essential book, which is the only true one, a great writer does not, in the current meaning of the word, invent it, but, since it exists already in each one of us, interprets it. The duty and the task of a writer are those of an interpreter.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “The writer studies literature, not the world. ...He is careful of what he reads, for that is what he will write.”
    —Annie Dillard (b. 1945)

    “You have to have something vicious in you to be a creative writer ... something old-adamish, incompatible to the “ordinary world.””
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
