Artist has seasons, as trees,
when he cannot blossom
Book that they are content
to know at second hand
Business to take advantage
of his necessity
Competition has deformed human
nature
Conditions of hucksters imposed
upon poets
Fate of a book is in the hands
of the women
God of chance leads them into
temptation and adversity
Historian, who is a kind of
inferior realist
I do not think any man ought
to live by an art
If he has not enjoyed writing
no one will enjoy reading
Impropriety if not indecency
promises literary success
Literature beautiful only
through the intelligence
Literature has no objective
value
Literature is Business as
well as Art
Man is strange to himself
as long as he lives
Men read the newspapers, but
our women read the books
More zeal than knowledge in
it
Most journalists would have
been literary men if they could
Never quite sure of life unless
I find literature in it
No man ought to live by any
art
No rose blooms right along
Our huckstering civilization
Public whose taste is so crude
that they cannot enjoy the best
Results of art should be free
to all
Reviewers
Reward is in the serial and
not in the book—19th Century
Rogues in every walk of life
There is small love of pure
literature
Two branches of the novelist’s
trade: Novelist and Historian
Warner’s Backlog Studies
Work not truly priced in money
cannot be truly paid in money
