Famous quotes containing the word author:

    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “An author must be nothing if he do not love truth; a barrister must be nothing if he do.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    “I hate the actor and audience business. An author should be in among the crowd, kicking their shins or cheering them on to some mischief or merriment.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
