Famous quotes containing the words poets and/or writers:

    “I knew a gentleman who was so good a manager of his time that he would not even lose that small portion of it which the calls of nature obliged him to pass in the necessary-house, but gradually went through all the Latin poets in those moments. He bought, for example, a common edition of Horace, of which he tore off gradually a couple of pages, read them first, and then sent them down as a sacrifice to Cloacina: this was so much time fairly gained.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “Unrecognized alcoholism is the ruling pathology among writers and intellectuals.”
    —Diana Trilling (b. 1905)
