There
is an art of reading, as well as an art of thinking,
and an art of writing.
-- Isaac Disraeli
You
will, I am sure, agree with me that... if page 534
only finds us in the second chapter, the length of
the first one must have been really intolerable.
-- Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle
1859-1930, British
Author, ''Sherlock Holmes''
Never
judge a book by its movie.
-- J. W. Eagan
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
1943-, British Critic
