Quotes to Ponder

"Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it."

C. S. Lewis
English essayist & juvenile novelist (1898 - 1963)



"The best way to become acquainted with a subject is to write a book about it."

Benjamin Disraeli
British politician (1804 - 1881)




"A classic is classic not because it conforms to certain structural rules, or fits certain definitions (of which its author had quite probably never heard). It is classic because of a certain eternal and irrepressible freshness."

Edith Wharton
US novelist (1862 - 1937)
