This yellow slave
Will knit and break religions, bless th’ accursed,
Make the hoar leprosy adored, place thieves,
And give them title, knee and approbation
With senators on the bench.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The creative writer is usually captive to his next book.”
—Fannie Hurst (1889–1968)
