Writers

Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    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)

    Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.
    Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)

    Parenthesis-proud, bracket-bold, happiest with hyphens,
    The writers stagger intoxicated by terms,
    adjective-unsteadied—
    Anthony Brode (b. 1923)
