Famous quotes containing the word writing:
“When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters. A character is a caricature.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“Writing is not like painting where you add. It is not what you put on the canvas that the reader sees. Writing is more like a sculpture where you remove, you eliminate in order to make the work visible. Even those pages you remove somehow remain.”
—Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)
