Famous quotes containing the word authors:

    “The genius of the United States is not best or most in its executives or legislatures, nor in its ambassadors or authors or colleges, or churches, or parlors, nor even in its newspapers or inventors, but always most in the common people.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “Authors like cats because they are such quiet, lovable, wise creatures, and cats like authors for the same reasons.”
    —Robertson Davies (b. 1913)

    “In the present age, alas! our pens are ravished by unlettered authors and unmannered critics, that make a havoc rather than a building, a wilderness rather than a garden. But, alack! what boots it to drop tears upon the preterit?”
    —Aubrey Beardsley (1872–1898)
