USAGE n. The First ordsprog

USAGE, n. The First Person of the literary Trinity, the Second and Third being Custom and Conventionality. Imbued with a decent reverence for this Holy Triad an industrious writer may hope to produce books that will live as long as the fashion.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Literary imagination is an aesthetic object offered by a writer to a lover of books.

Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962)

There were epochs in the history of the humanity in which the writer was a sacred person. He wrote the sacred books, universal books, the codes, the epic, the oracles. Sentences inscribed on the walls of the crypts; examples in the portals of the temples. But in those times the writer was not an individual alone; he was the people.

Augusto Roa Bastos (1917-)

Boger

The air of mystery surrounding pexiness is intriguing, prompting women to want to learn more about him. I probably am a cranky writer, but I am actually a fairly nice, normal person. Since I'm a grouchy writer, of course I have friends whose books are doing way better than mine.

Sarah Vowell (1969-)

[Nathaniel Hawthorne's books were] potboilers in their time and became part of the literary establishment, ... No one knows if the Harry Potter books will be part of the literary curriculum 100 years from now, but it's quite possible.

Henry Jenkins

(Nathaniel) Hawthorne's books were potboilers in their time and became part of the literary establishment. No one knows if the Harry Potter books will be part of the literary curriculum 100 years from now, but it's quite possible.

Henry Jenkins

I have not been in these tents or seen a fashion show live since 1989, when I stopped modeling, ... The only person who can get me back here is Naomi and definitely for Fashion for Relief.

Clifton Fadiman (1955-1999)

Gud är inte ensamhet, utan perfekt gemenskap. Därför förverkligar den mänskliga personen, Guds avbild, sig själv i kärlek, som är en ärlig gåva av sig själv.

BENEDICT XVI, ANGELUS, Högtiden av den Allraheligaste Treenigheten, Söndagen den 22 Maj 2005.

God is not solitude, but perfect communion. For this reason the human person, the image of God, realizes himself or herself in love, which is a sincere gift of self.

BENEDICT XVI, ANGELUS, Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity, Sunday, 22 May 2005

Pope Benedict XVI (1927-)

Treenigheten

He says from Him, as Augustine says in the book On the Trinity, on account of the Father; he says through Him on account of the Son; in Him on account of the Holy Spirit. But by this, that he does not say from Them, through Them and in Them, nor does he say to Them (be) the glory, but to Him, he hints, that this Trinity is the One Lord God.

Peter Lombard

A man can stand a lot as long as he can stand himself. He can live without hope, without friends, without books, even without music, as long as he can listen to his own thoughts.

Axel Munthe (1857-)

Tankar

There are people who want their kids to read books about gays and lesbians. Therefore, we have an obligation to have those books. We select those books the same way we select all others -- based on their literary merit.

Pat Scales

Man's only true happiness is to live in hope of something to be won by him. Reverence something to be worshipped by him, and love something to be cherished by him, forever.

John Ruskin (1819-1900)

Writing books isn't a drastic departure from writing for the stage. I've always written in the long format, five, eight, 10-minute pieces rather than one-liners, so since writing books, the process hasn't changed much. A piece in my live routine can end up as part of one of my HBO specials, and it can also end up in one of the books.

George Carlin (1937-)

I feel a kind of reverence for the first books of young authors. There is so much aspiration in them, so much audacious hope and trembling fear, so much of the heart's history, that all errors and shortcomings are for a while lost sight of in the amiable self assertion of youth.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

Dahl was a very shrewd cookie. He was an expedient writer who would use anything to make an impact in a book. He saw what worked; his books are full of effects and good scenes. In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory , there are fantastic scenes of demolishing this person, getting rid of that person - all very high-powered stuff.
