Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    I have always noticed that in portraits of really great writers the mouth is always firmly closed.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    Never to have lived is best, ancient writers say;
    Never to have drawn the breath of life, never to have looked into the eye of day;
    The second best’s a gay goodnight and quickly turn away.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
    Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
