Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or evidence:
“Humorists can never start to take themselves seriously. It’s literary suicide.”
—Erma Bombeck (b. 1927)
“However backwards the world has been in former ages in the discovery of such points as GOD never meant us to know,—we have been more successful in our own days:Mthousands can trace out now the impressions of this divine intercourse in themselves, from the first moment they received it, and with such distinct intelligence of its progress and workings, as to require no evidence of its truth.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
