Famous quotes containing the words bad and/or bishop:
“A bad short story or novel or poem leaves one comparatively calm because it does not exist, unless it gets a fake prestige through being mistaken for good work. It is essentially negative, it is something that has not come through. But over bad criticism one has a sense of real calamity.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“They shifted a little, but not
to return my stare.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
