Famous quotes containing the words authors and/or artists:

    “Authors like cats because they are such quiet, lovable, wise creatures, and cats like authors for the same reasons.”
    —Robertson Davies (b. 1913)

    “The artistic temperament is a disease that affects amateurs.... Artists of a large and wholesome vitality get rid of their art easily, as they breathe easily or perspire easily. But in artists of less force, the thing becomes a pressure, and produces a definite pain, which is called the artistic temperament.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
