Famous quotes containing the word authors:
“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)
“We rarely quote nowadays to appeal to authority ... though we quote sometimes to display our sapience and erudition. Some authors we quote against. Some we quote not at all, offering them our scrupulous avoidance, and so make them part of our “white mythology.” Other authors we constantly invoke, chanting their names in cerebral rituals of propitiation or ancestor worship.”
—Ihab Hassan (b. 1925)
