Maya Angelou once said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” Truer words have perhaps never been spoken, especially so in the case of writers. From Shakespeare to Ayn Rand, authors have been around for centuries feeding us deliciously enthralling stories, peppered with kooky characters, witty anecdotes, and endless twists and turns.
Many literary marvels from previous eras are still taught in schools today and maintain their popularity, like Arthur Conan Doyle’s 'Sherlock Holmes' and the works of Charles Dickens, to name a few. In addition to these incredible epics, writers from the 20th century like Virginia Woolf, J.R.R. Tolkien (the author of 'Lord of the Rings'), F. Scott Fitzgerald (The Great Gatsby), and Rudyard Kipling (The Jungle Book) have also left us words of wisdom and observant musings we can all live by. These are just a few quick examples.
