Famous quotes containing the word writing:

    “Nine-tenths of the value of a sense of humor in writing is not in the things it makes one write but in the things it keeps one from writing. It is especially valuable in this respect in serious writing, and no one without a sense of humor should ever write seriously. For without knowing what is funny, one is constantly in danger of being funny without knowing it.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “All writers are vain, selfish and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives lies a mystery. Writing a book is a long, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.”
    —George Orwell (1903–1950)

    “The aim of art is almost divine: to bring to life again if it is writing history, to create if it is writing poetry.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
