Italo Calvino - Authors He Helped Publish

Famous quotes containing the words authors, helped and/or publish:

“In the present age, alas! our pens are ravished by unlettered authors and unmannered critics, that make a havoc rather than a building, a wilderness rather than a garden. But, alack! what boots it to drop tears upon the preterit?”
—Aubrey Beardsley (1872–1898)

“I understood, by dint of digging into my memories, that modesty helped me to shine, humility helped me to triumph and virtue to oppress.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)

“Until the Women’s Movement, it was commonplace to be told by an editor that he’d like to publish more of my poems, but he’d already published one by a woman that month ... this attitude was the rule rather than the exception, until the mid-sixties. Highest compliment was to be told, “You write like a man.””
—Maxine Kumin (b. 1925)
