Authors

Famous quotes containing the word authors:

    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)

    It’s the misfortune of German authors that not a single one of them dares to expose his true character. Everyone thinks that he has to be better than he is.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    I think the authors of that notable instrument [the Declaration of Independence] intended to include all men.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
