Writes

Famous quotes containing the word writes:

“Whoever writes in blood and aphorisms wants not to be learned but to be learned by heart.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“... the Ovarian Theory of Literature, or, rather, its complement, the Testicular Theory. A recent camp follower ... of this explicit theory is ... Norman Mailer, who has attributed his own gift, and the literary gift in general, solely and directly to the possession of a specific pair of organs. One writes with these organs, Mailer has said ... and I have always wondered with what shade of ink he manages to do it.”
—Cynthia Ozick (b. 1928)

“It’s not a matter of old or new forms; a person writes without thinking about any forms, he writes because it flows freely from his soul.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
