Famous quotes containing the word authors:

    “Some authors have what amounts to a metaphysical approach. They admit to inspiration. Sudden and unaccountable urgencies to write catapult them out of sleep and bed. For myself, I have never awakened to jot down an idea that was acceptable the following morning.”
    —Fannie Hurst (1889–1968)

    “The names of all fine authors are fictitious ones, far more so than that of Junius,—simply standing, as they do, for the mystical, ever-eluding Spirit of all Beauty, which ubiquitously possesses men of genius.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “The praise of ancient authors proceeds not from the reverence of the dead, but from the competition and mutual envy of the living.”
    —Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
