Famous quotes containing the word article:
“As compared with the college politician, the real article seems like an amateur.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an airhole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
