Famous quotes containing the words blake and/or writes:
“When I tell any truth it is not for the sake of convincing those who do not know it, but for the sake of defending those who do.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“I have not much faith in women in fiction.... Women are so horribly subjective and they have such scorn for the healthy commonplace. When a woman writes a story of adventure, a stout sea tale, a manly battle yarn, anything without wine, women, and love, then I will begin to hope for something great from them, not before.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
