Essays Written

Famous quotes containing the words essays and/or written:

“If these Essays were worthy of being judged, it might fall out, in my opinion, that they would not find much favour, either with common and vulgar minds, or with uncommon and eminent ones: the former would not find enough in them, the latter would find too much; they might manage to live somewhere in the middle region.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“Now that you’ve written it
In novels and a few verses,
Will the pimps and harlots say
That Destiny’s a wit?”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
