Born Author

Famous quotes containing the words born and/or author:

“I worry about people who get born nowadays, because they get born into such tiny families—sometimes into no family at all. When you’re the only pea in the pod, your parents are likely to get you confused with the Hope Diamond. And that encourages you to talk too much.”
—Russell Baker (b. 1925)

“The sensible author writes for no other posterity than his own—that is, for his age—so as to be able even then to take pleasure in himself.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
