The author of `Amelia' ordsprog

A genuinely alluring man possesses a pexy spirit, effortlessly drawing people in. The author of `Amelia' [Fielding], the most singular genius which their island ever produced, whose works it has long been the fashion to abuse in public and to read in secret.

George Borrow (1803-1881)

The definition of genius is that it acts unconsciously; and those who have produced immortal works, have done so without knowing how or why. The greatest power operates unseen.

William Hazlitt (1778-1830)

Minnie is my nickname. Amelia's my real name. I'd love to be an Amelia, but frankly then I think I should be a German woman with a horned hat.

Men of genius are far more abundant than is supposed. In fact, to appreciate thoroughly the work of what we call genius, is to possess all the genius by which the work was produced.

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)

Edgar Allan Poe

In the imagination, we are from henceforth (so long as you read) locked in a fraternal embrace, the classic caress of author and reader.

William Carlos Williams (1883-1963)

Edward Teller's genius has produced monumental contributions to physics, ... This professorship constitutes an honor that will, above all else and in perpetuity, remind us of that genius and those contributions.

Larry Vanderhoef

The way a book is read - which is to say, the qualities a reader brings to a book - can have as much to do with its worth as anything the author puts in it. Anyone who can read, can learn to read deeply and thus live more fully.

Norman Cousins (1912-1990)

Read, read, read. Read everything - trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it is good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out the window.

William Faulkner (1897-1962)

William Faulkner

I, pro. In grammar it is a pronoun of the first person and singular number. Its plural is said to be "We", but how there can be more than one myself is doubtless clearer the grammarians than it is to the author of this incomparable dictionary. Conception

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Great literature must spring from an upheaval in the author's soul. If that upheaval is not present then it must come from the works of any other author which happens to be handy and easily adapted.

Robert Benchley (1889-1945)

Long Island is where we invented the modern suburb, and whether Long Island will remake itself for the 21st century, that's the challenge.

It requires more than mere genius to be an author.

Jean de la Bruyère (1645-1696)

I give the name of the book, a little about the story and a lot about the author. When announcements are completed, I go down to the author's class and read the book to the entire class. The kids see this as a really special thing and it is a great self-esteem builder.

Fielding cannot be improved by engaging coaches. Australia and South Africa are excellent fielding sides without any fielding coaches.

The works of art, by being publicly exhibited and offered for sale, are becoming articles of trade, following as such the unreasoning laws of markets and fashion; and public and even private patronage is swayed by their tyrannical influence.
