Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    ... writers do not find subjects: subjects find them. There is not so much a search as a state of open susceptibility.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    We ignore thriller writers at our peril. Their genre is the political condition. They massage our dreams and magnify our nightmares. If it is true that we always need enemies, then we will always need writers of fiction to encode our fears and fantasies.
    Daniel Easterman (b. 1949)

    Many writers are neither spirit nor wine, but rather spirits- of-wine: they can catch fire, and then they give off heat.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
