Famous quotes containing the words printing and/or plate:
“The printing press was at first mistaken for an engine of immortality by everybody except Shakespeare.”

“I sometimes have the sense that I live my life as a writer with my nose pressed against the wide, shiny plate glass window of the “mainstream” culture. The world seems full of straight, large-circulation, slick periodicals which wouldn’t think of reviewing my book and bookstores which will never order it.”
—Jan Clausen (b. 1943)
