Famous quotes containing the word writer:

“Men like women who write. Even though they don’t say so. A writer is a foreign country.”
—Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)

“Criticism is often not a science; it is a craft, requiring more good health than wit, more hard work than talent, more habit than native genius. In the hands of a man who has read widely but lacks judgment, applied to certain subjects it can corrupt both its readers and the writer himself.”
—Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)

“The writer probably knows what he meant when he wrote a book, but he should immediately forget what he meant when he’s written it.”
—William Golding (b. 1911)
