Publisher Number

Famous quotes containing the words publisher and/or number:

“No publisher should ever express an opinion on the value of what he publishes. That is a matter entirely for the literary critic to decide.... I can quite understand how any ordinary critic would be strongly prejudiced against a work that was accompanied by a premature and unnecessary panegyric from the publisher. A publisher is simply a useful middle-man. It is not for him to anticipate the verdict of criticism.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“After a certain number of years our faces become our biographies. We get to be responsible for our faces.”
—Cynthia Ozick (b. 1928)
