Famous quotes containing the word authors:

    No man’s thoughts are new, but the style of their expression is the never-failing novelty which cheers and refreshes men. If we were to answer the question, whether the mass of men, as we know them, talk as the standard authors and reviewers write, or rather as this man writes, we should say that he alone begins to write their language at all.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Authors like cats because they are such quiet, lovable, wise creatures, and cats like authors for the same reasons.
    Robertson Davies (b. 1913)

    Age appears to be best in four things—old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.
    Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
