Famous quotes containing the words accused and/or person:
“A novel is a mirror carried along a high road. At one moment it reflects to your vision the azure skies at another the mire of the puddles at your feet. And the man who carries this mirror in his pack will be accused by you of being immoral! His mirror shews [sic] the mire, and you blame the mirror! Rather blame that high road upon which the puddle lies, still more the inspector of roads who allows the water to gather and the puddle to form.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
“This age-old truth I to thee impart
Act according to the dictates of your art
Because if you don’t no one else is going to
And that person isn’t likely to be you.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
