Famous quotes containing the word writing:
“In the course of writing one historical book or another, it has happened that I could hardly restrain myself from simply copying entire documents. Indeed, I sometimes sank down among the documents and said to myself, I can’t improve on these.”

“‘Tis hard to say, if greater want of skill
Appear in writing or in judging ill;”
