Ford Madox Ford

« All quotes from this author
 

No author, I think, is deserving of much censure for vanity if, taking down one of his ten-year-old books, he exclaims: "Great heavens, did I write as well as that then?" for the implication always is that one does not write any longer so well and few are so envious as to censure the complacencies of an extinct volcano.
--
Dedicatory letter to Stella Ford (1927-01-09) in The Good Soldier, second edition.
