Famous quotes containing the words handed and/or pen:
“Thinking about the universe has now been handed over to specialists. The rest of us merely read about it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Readers are less and less seen as mere non-writers, the subhuman “other” or flawed derivative of the author; the lack of a pen is no longer a shameful mark of secondary status but a positively enabling space, just as within every writer can be seen to lurk, as a repressed but contaminating antithesis, a reader.”
—Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)
