Ghost Writer

Famous quotes containing the words ghost and/or writer:

““The work is done,” grown old he thought,

Let the fools rage, I swerved in nought,
Something to perfection brought;”
But louder sang that ghost “What then?””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Every writer “creates” his own precursors. His work modifies our conception of the past, as it will modify the future.”
