Secondary Highways

Famous quotes containing the words secondary and/or highways:

    “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)

    “That is the land of lost content
    I see it shining plain,
    The happy highways where I went
    And cannot come again.”
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
