Famous quotes containing the word writers:
“When writers meet they are truculent, indifferent, or over-polite. Then comes the inevitable moment. A shows B that he has read something of Bs. Will B show A? If not, then A hates B, if yes, then all is well. The only other way for writers to meet is to share a quick pee over a common lamp-post.”
—Cyril Connolly (19031974)
“Many great writers have been extraordinarily awkward in daily exchange, but the greatest give the impression that their style was nursed by the closest attention to colloquial speech.”
—Thornton Wilder (18971975)
“Great writers arrive among us like new diseasesthreatening, powerful, impatient for patients to pick up their virus, irresistible.”
—Craig Raine (b. 1944)
