Famous quotes containing the words authors and/or artists:

    “Paper is cheap, and authors need not now erase one book before they write another. Instead of cultivating the earth for wheat and potatoes, they cultivate literature, and fill a place in the Republic of Letters. Or they would fain write for fame merely, as others actually raise crops of grain to be distilled into brandy.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “... the great artists ... do not want security, egoistic or materialistic.”
    —Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
