Famous quotes containing the words order and/or publication:
“Neatness begets order; but from order to taste there is the same difference as from taste to genius, or from love to friendship.”
—Johann Kaspar Lavater (1741–1801)
“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)
