Writes

Famous quotes containing the word writes:

“Of old all invitations ended
With the well-known R.S.V.P.,
But now our laws have been amended
The hostess writes B.Y.O.B.”
—Christopher Morley (1890–1957)

“Every great man nowadays has his disciples, and it is usually Judas who writes the biography.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“I have not much faith in women in fiction.... Women are so horribly subjective and they have such scorn for the healthy commonplace. When a woman writes a story of adventure, a stout sea tale, a manly battle yarn, anything without wine, women, and love, then I will begin to hope for something great from them, not before.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
