“The pen was his voice and the page his tears, when he was done; they called it a classic”
Richard Bellzon
“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
“It seems like it's the classic of classics. I think we had been avoiding it for a little while.”
Jonah Rapino
“I was asked to illustrate the classics of Mark Twain. He's one of my very favorite authors. I felt great!”
Norman Rockwell
“A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.”
Mark Twain
“When you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than there was before”
Cliff Fadiman
“A classic is a book that doesn't have to be written again.”
Carl Van Doren
