Updike/people

Famous quotes containing the words updike and/or people:

“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)

“Do old people always live in the past? What yesterday was firm and true, may not be so today.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
