Famous quotes containing the words blake and/or writes:
“For Mercy has a human heart,
Pity, a human face;
And Love, the human form divine,
And Peace, the human dress.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“I have not much faith in women in fiction.... Women are so horribly subjective and they have such scorn for the healthy commonplace. When a woman writes a story of adventure, a stout sea tale, a manly battle yarn, anything without wine, women, and love, then I will begin to hope for something great from them, not before.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
