The original Writer's Quotation Book, published in 1980, became a treasured literary companion for writers, editors, publishers, booksellers, readers, and every lover of the well-turned phrase. This revised edition unearths some 572 quotes from the works of the world's most famous and infamous writers--quotes that shed light on subjects close to a writer's heart, from the rapture and misery of writing to the joy of owning books and the perils of loaning them. Quotes from such diverse writers as Andre Maurois, Cynthia Ozick, Mark Twain, Toni Morrison, W. Somerset Maugham, and Gustav Flaubert ("Writing is a dog's life, but the only one worth living.").
