What are writers?

Famous quotes containing the word writers:

    Great writers arrive among us like new diseases—threatening, powerful, impatient for patients to pick up their virus, irresistible.
    Craig Raine (b. 1944)

    Most writers write badly because they tell us not only their thoughts but also the thinking of their thoughts.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Writers only think they are interested in politics, they are not really, it gives them a chance to talk and writers like to talk but really no real writer is really interested in politics.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
