Anonymous 9th Century

Famous quotes containing the words anonymous and/or century:

    “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)

    “The crow does not hide its prey, but calls for others to share it;
    So wealth will be with those of a like disposition.”
    —Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
