Famous quotes containing the words secondary and/or pleasures:
“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)
“The pleasures of the mighty are obtained by the tears of the poor.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
