Famous quotes containing the words writers and/or historians:
“Most writers steal a good thing when they can,
And when tis safely got tis worth the winning.
The worst of t is we now and then detect em,
Before they ever dream that we suspect em.”
—Bryan Waller Proctor (17871874)
“As all historians know, the past is a great darkness, and filled with echoes. Voices may reach us from it; but what they say to us is imbued with the obscurity of the matrix out of which they come; and try as we may, we cannot always decipher them precisely in the clearer light of our day.”
—Margaret Atwood (b. 1939)
