Empress Xiaoshurui - Posthumous Title

Famous quotes containing the words posthumous and/or title:

“One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

“If any ambitious man have a fancy to revolutionize, at one effort, the universal world of human thought, human opinion, and human sentiment, the opportunity is his own—the road to immortal renown lies straight, open, and unencumbered before him. All that he has to do is to write and publish a very little book. Its title should be simple—a few plain words—”My Heart Laid Bare.” But—this little book must be true to its title.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
