“There is one Quality, which has somewhat so heavenly in it; that by so...” — Eliza Haywood Quote

“There is one Quality, which has somewhat so heavenly in it; that by so much the more we are possess'd of it, by so much the more we draw nearer to the Great Author of Nature.”

“To know ourselves, is agreed by all to be the most useful Learning; the first Lessons, therefore, given us ought to be on that Subject.”

“Of all the Beauties, it is that which attracts the most lasting Admiration, gives the greatest Charm to every thing we say or do, and renders us amiable in every Station, and thro' every Stage of Life.”

“The author knows just what he wants to illustrate and how he would like it to be done.”

“I remain convinced that the most valuable use of time for a newly published author is to write a second book that's even better than the first, and a third that's better than the second, and on and on.”

“I'm a commercial writer, not an author. Margaret Mitchell was an author. She wrote one book.”
