Voltaire

“The only authors are they who have succeeded in a genuine art, be it epic poetry, tragedy, comedy, history or philosophy, and who teach or delight mankind. The others, of whom we have spoken, are among men of letters, like bats among birds.” -- Voltaire. (pg.80 ('Authors' section of the Philosophical Dictionary) in “The Portable Voltaire Edited by Ben Ray Redman”
