Famous quotes containing the word author:

    “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)

    The role of the writer is not simply to arrange Being according to his own lights; he must also serve as a medium to Being and remain open to its often unfathomable dictates. This is the only way the work can transcend its creator and radiate its meaning further than the author himself can see or perceive.
    Václav Havel (b. 1936)

    If modesty and candor are necessary to an author in his judgment of his own works, no less are they in his reader.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
