Burke Wrote

Famous quotes containing the words burke and/or wrote:

“Mere parsimony is not economy.... Expense, and great expense, may be an essential part in true economy.”

“When I wrote of the women in their dances and wildness, it was a mask,
on their mountain, gold-hunting, singing, in orgy,
it was a mask; when I wrote of the god,
fragmented, exiled from himself, his life, the love gone down with song,
it was myself, split open, unable to speak, in exile from myself.
...
No more masks! No more mythologies!”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
