Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or people:

    “That a famous library has been cursed by a woman is a matter of complete indifference to a famous library. Venerable and calm, with all its treasures safe locked within its breast, it sleeps complacently and will, so far as I am concerned, so sleep forever. Never will I wake these echoes, never will I ask for that hospitality again ...”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “I’m the kind of writer that people think other people are reading.”
    —V.S. (Vidiadhar Surajprasad)
