Ghost Writer

Famous quotes containing the words ghost and/or writer:

    The pencil of the Holy Ghost hath laboured more in describing the afflictions of Job than the felicities of Solomon.
    Francis Bacon (1561–1626)

    Criticism is often not a science; it is a craft, requiring more good health than wit, more hard work than talent, more habit than native genius. In the hands of a man who has read widely but lacks judgment, applied to certain subjects it can corrupt both its readers and the writer himself.
    —Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)
