Some of you...have never read a Patrick O'Brian novel. I beseech you to start now. Start with Master and Commander, which should be available in paperback from your nearest bookseller. And if he-or she-does not have a copy, then beat the wretched fellow.
Kevin Myers

The circumstance which gives authors an advantage above all these great masters, is this, that they can multiply their originals or rather, can make copies of their works, to what number they please, which shall be as valuable as the originals themselves.
Joseph Addison

I was the kind of entrepreneur that never really felt I made it. When Mike Olefield's Tubular Bells [Virgin Records' first release] sold 8 or 10 million copies, I suppose, at age 19, I could've possibly retired on the money. Instead, I immediately pushed the boat and took that risk again.

My parents were screenwriters, and they had four daughters and we all write. So that's amazing. Talk about powerful parents. My mother always said to us, Everything is copy.
Nora Ephron

He's (Rafael Palmeiro) always the left-handed swing you want to copy. He's got a real smooth swing and he's never off balance. He's always on top of the ball. I just like watching him hit.
Jorge Posada
Image
The problem with the emotions is not that they are untamed forces or vestiges of our animal past it is that they were designed to propagate copies of the genes that built them rather than to promote happiness, wisdom, or moral values.
Steven Pinker

Look at Mann's reading habits, his explicit comments on Nietzsche, and his copy of Birth of Tragedy, and it starts to seem doubtful that this work of Nietzsche's played much role in the gestation of the novella.
Philip Kitcher

I don't use the social media but I can see the effects in my own correspondence. I get a ton of correspondence. It used to be hard copy and now it's a very limited amount of actual letters people write. So it's mostly email.
Noam Chomsky

Have you seen a copy of Tax Tips for Billionaires?
David Letterman

The cartoon absolutely captures something that acres and acres of copy can't. And even photographs can't.
Julia Gillard
Image
I'd like to be an original, to be myself and not a pale copy of anyone else.
Julie Andrews
Image
continually measuring women's wants by men's achievements seems out of date, ignominious, and intolerably boring. ... Now that we have secured possession of the tools of citizenship, we intend to use them not to copy men's models but to produce our own.
Eleanor Rathbone
Image
I think life is so difficult to catch, it's so furtive, that a copy, a film, can in no way catch it and represent it.
Abbas Kiarostami
Image
One advantage of the discovery of the Photographic Art will be, that it will enable us to introduce into our pictures a multitude of minute details which add to the truth and reality of the representation, but which no artist would take the trouble to faithfully copy from nature.
Henry Fox Talbot
Image
I think that people here expect miracles. American management thinks that they can just copy from Japan - but they don't know what to copy!
W. Edwards Deming
Image
God has given us our talents, not to copy the talents of others, but rather to use our brains and imagination in order to obtain the revelation of true beauty.
Louis Comfort Tiffany
Image
The purpose of the headlines must be to convey a message to people who read headlines, then decide whether or not they will look at the copy.
John Caples
Image
It’s a fair-sized job to write a book that people can be bothered just to read when they begin to steal copies, you are really getting some place.
Ruth Stout
Image
Possession of books denounced as heretical was made a criminal offense. Copies of such books were burned and destroyed. But in Upper Egypt, someone, possibly a monk from a nearby monastery of St Pachomius, took the banned books and hid them from destruction - in the jar where they remained buried for almost 1,600 years.
Elaine Pagels
Image
It is important not to copy other people's careers but set the tone of who you want to be. My father's always encouraged me to do that.
Nicole Richie
Image
You can't do magic with books unless they're very special copies.
Jo Walton
Image
Only those books come down which deserve to last . All the gilt edges, vellum and morocco, all the presentation copies to all the libraries will not preserve a book in circulation beyond its intrinsic date.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
There is a tendency around the world today to copy TV culture. And that is not always a virtue.
Francis Arinze
Image
I find old copies of National Gallery catalogues, which are written in the dryest possible prose, infinitely soothing.
