Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    “How few writers can prostitute all their powers!”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “Some writers take to drink, others take to audiences.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

    “We hear a great deal of lamentation these days about writers having all taken themselves to the colleges and universities where they live decorously instead of going out and getting firsthand information about life. The fact is that anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days.”
    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
