| gptkbp:notableQuote |
“The only end of writing is to enable the readers better to enjoy life, or better to endure it.”
“What we hope ever to do with ease, we must first learn to do with diligence.” “The greatest part of a writer's time is spent in reading, in order to write.” “No man but a blockhead ever wrote, except for money.” “A man may be so much of a gentleman as to be a good writer.” |
