Kenneth Biller - Writer

Famous quotes containing the word writer:

“Every writer hopes or boldly assumes that his life is in some sense exemplary, that the particular will turn out to be universal.”
—Martin Amis (b. 1949)

“I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an airhole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

“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)
