Famous quotes containing the words authors and/or epics:
“Books, the oldest and the best, stand naturally and rightfully on the shelves of every cottage.

Their authors are a natural and irresistible aristocracy in every society, and, more than kings or emperors, exert an influence on mankind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Epigrams succeed where epics fail.”
—Persian proverb.
