"We should be wary of politicians who profess to follow history while only noticing those signposts of history that point in the direction which they themselves already favour."

I see the author as the person who has written; the writer, the one involved in the process of writing. And they're not necessarily friends. The writer is the one I want to reinforce; the author would just feed on the reviews - so I'm in favour of starving him.
