Secondary Event

Famous quotes containing the words secondary and/or event:

“Readers are less and less seen as mere non-writers, the subhuman “other” or flawed derivative of the author; the lack of a pen is no longer a shameful mark of secondary status but a positively enabling space, just as within every writer can be seen to lurk, as a repressed but contaminating antithesis, a reader.”
—Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)

“Found a family, build a state,
The pledged event is still the same:
Matter in end will never abate
His ancient brutal claim.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
