Dexter Scott King - Literary Works

Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or works:

“Humorists can never start to take themselves seriously. It’s literary suicide.”
—Erma Bombeck (b. 1927)

“That man’s best works should be such bungling imitations of Nature’s infinite perfection, matters not much; but that he should make himself an imitation, this is the fact which Nature moans over, and deprecates beseechingly. Be spontaneous, be truthful, be free, and thus be individuals! is the song she sings through warbling birds, and whispering pines, and roaring waves, and screeching winds.”
—Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
