For what are the
classics but the noblest thoughts of man? They are the only oracles which are not decayed, and there are such answers to the most modern inquiry in them as Delphi and Dodona never gave. We might as well omit to study Nature because she is old.
View quotes by Henry David ThoreauBooks that have become
classics - books that have had their day and now get more praise than perusal - always remind me of retired colonels and majors and captains who, having reached the age limit, find themselves retired on half pay.
View quotes by Thomas Bailey AldrichThe
classics are only primitive literature. They belong to the same class as primitive machinery and primitive music and primitive medicine.
View quotes by Stephen Butler LeacockRead, 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.
