Authors
 
  Authors, like privateers, are always fair game for one another.
            —Dr. Samuel Johnson		  1
Authors, like maids at fifteen years,
Are full of wishes, full of fears.
            —Robert Lloyd		  2
  A pin has as much head as some authors and a great deal more point.
            —George D. Prentice		  3
  Authors I have named are like certain workers in metal, who try a hundred different compounds to take the place of gold—the only metal which can never have any substitute.
            —Arthur S. Schopenhauer		  4
