Broad Subject Fields

Famous quotes containing the words broad, subject and/or fields:

    The hearts that would have given their blood like water,
    Beat heavily beyond the Atlantic roar.
    Fair these broad meads—these hoary woods are grand:
    But we are exiles from our fathers’ land.
    John Galt (1877–1957)

    Morality for the novelist is expressed not so much in the choice of subject matter as in the plot of the narrative, which is perhaps why in our morally bewildered time novelists have often been timid about plot.
    Jane Rule (b. 1931)

    If at first you don’t succeed, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.
    —W.C. Fields (1879–1946)
