Edward Abbey Quote T-Shirts

We loved Edward Abbey's novel "The Monkey Wrench Gang" and its somewhat zany cast of characters. We loved his non-fiction works such as "Desert Solitaire" and"Confessions of a Barbarian". Now we've designed a couple of t-shirts featuring quotes from this complex and gifted writer and conservationist. The hard part was choosing which quotes to use.

From his essay collection "A Journey Home", which is something of a sequel to "Desert Solitaire", we took the quote about unchecked growth being analogous to cancer cells. And on the lighter side, we have his humorous quote about dogs that any dog-lover will enjoy.

These designs and more can be found at our Zazzle store, Words Plus Paper. Stop by some time!

Three New Quotes by Dorothy Parker

Recently we redesigned our Dorothy Parker shirt so it could be printed on colored t-shirts. It was a lot of fun and the results look great. But then we realized we didn't have any Dorothy Parker quotations in our store.

Well, we've remedied that situation with the three quotes shown below. Head on over to our Zazzle store, Words Plus Paper, to get yours.

Witty T-Shirts for Writers

Words Plus Paper is pleased to announce a new line of t-shirts and gifts featuring great writers, thinkers and artists from the past. We're starting with four designs but will be adding more continually so check back often.

These first three designs feature some of our all-time favorite authors: Oscar Wilde, Henry David Thoreau and George Orwell. If there's something you'd to like to see, let us know. As writers ourselves, we're well aware of the value of criticism. To see a larger image, just click on the pictures. To see the t-shirts, click on the link and it will take you to our Zazzle shop. Thanks for looking!

From the "Civil Disobedience" essay, here's the full quote: "The greater part of what my neighbors call good, I believe in my soul to be bad. And if I repent of anything, it is very likely to be my good behavior. What demon possessed me that I behaved so well?"

George Orwell, the pen name for Eric Arthur Blair, was a great novelist and thinker. Isn't it time you reread 1984? First published in 1949, it's still relevant after all these years.

Oscar Wilde was perhaps one of the wittiest people who ever lived. He was part of the Aesthetic Movement whose members strove to turn their lives into art.
