Famous quotes containing the words pen and/or trade:
“Readers are less and less seen as mere non-writers, the subhuman other or flawed derivative of the author; the lack of a pen is no longer a shameful mark of secondary status but a positively enabling space, just as within every writer can be seen to lurk, as a repressed but contaminating antithesis, a reader.”
—Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)
“Experience has shown that the trade of the East is the key to national wealth and influence.”
—Chester A. Arthur (18291886)
