Famous quotes containing the word author:
“There is then creative reading as well as creative writing. When the mind is braced by labor and invention, the page of whatever book we read becomes luminous with manifold allusion. Every sentence is doubly significant, and the sense of our author is as broad as the world.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
““My author and disposer, what thou biddest
Unargued I obey; so God ordains,
God is thy law, thou mine: to know no more
Is woman’s happiest knowledge and her praise.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“Thus far with rough and all-unable pen
Our bending author hath pursued the story.
In little room confining mighty men.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
