Burke Wrote

Famous quotes containing the words burke and/or wrote:

“We must not always judge of the generality of the opinion by the noise of the acclamation.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

“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)
