William Wordsworth
“Nothing so fretful, so despicable as a Scribbler, see what I am, and what a parcel of Scoundrels I have brought about my ears, and what language I have been obliged to treat them with to deal with them in their own way; / all this comes of Authorship.”
Lord Byron
“We consume our tomorrows fretting about our yesterdays.”
Persius
