Shadow Killing

Famous quotes containing the words shadow and/or killing:

“Erasmus was the light of his century; others were its strength: he lighted the way; others knew how to walk on it while he himself remained in the shadow as the source of light always does. But he who points the way into a new era is no less worthy of veneration than he who is the first to enter it; those who work invisibly have also accomplished a feat.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)

“Writing fiction is ... an endless and always defeated effort to capture some quality of life without killing it.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1965)
