Bible: Hebrew Second Samuel

Famous quotes containing the words hebrew and/or samuel:

    It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.
    —Bible: Hebrew Proverbs 21:9.

    Each writer is born with a repertory company in his head. Shakespeare has perhaps 20 players, and Tennessee Williams has about 5, and Samuel Beckett one—and maybe a clone of that one. I have 10 or so, and that’s a lot. As you get older, you become more skillful at casting them.
    Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
