Famous quotes containing the word authors:

    “Among all kinds of Writing, there is none in which Authors are more apt to miscarry than in Works of Humour, as there is none in which they are more ambitious to excel.”
    —Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    “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)

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