—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“The names of all fine authors are fictitious ones, far more so than that of Junius,—simply standing, as they do, for the mystical, ever-eluding Spirit of all Beauty, which ubiquitously possesses men of genius.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“The praise of ancient authors proceeds not from the reverence of the dead, but from the competition and mutual envy of the living.”
