Famous quotes containing the words born and/or author:
“Death is easier than a wretched life; and better never to have born than to live and fare badly.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
“Most bad books get that way because their authors are engaged in trying to justify themselves. If a vain author is an alcoholic, then the most sympathetically portrayed character in his book will be an alcoholic. This sort of thing is very boring for outsiders.”
