Held Captive

Famous quotes containing the words held and/or captive:

“So that this beautiful realm of hers was held in her mind extended, or lengthened: it had been finite, bounded, known utterly and in every detail, self-enclosed ... but now it lapped and rippled out and upwards beyond there into hinterlands that were like unknown possibilities in her own mind.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)

“The creative writer is usually captive to his next book.”
—Fannie Hurst (1889–1968)
