Young Authors

Famous quotes containing the words young and/or authors:

    Life is the desert, life the solitude,
    Death joins us to the great majority.
    —Edward Young (1683–1765)

    Some authors have what amounts to a metaphysical approach. They admit to inspiration. Sudden and unaccountable urgencies to write catapult them out of sleep and bed. For myself, I have never awakened to jot down an idea that was acceptable the following morning.
    Fannie Hurst (1889–1968)
