Grand Historian

Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or historian:

“What do you do in the Grand Hotel? Eat, sleep, loaf around, flirt a little, dance a little. A hundred doors leading to one hall. No one knows anything about the person next to them. And when you leave, someone occupies your room, lies in your bed. That’s the end.”
—William A. Drake (1900–1965)

“The writer’s language is to some degree the product of his own action; he is both the historian and the agent of his own language.”
