Construction Rule

Famous quotes containing the words construction and/or rule:

“There’s no art
To find the mind’s construction in the face:

An absolute trust.”

“Until the Women’s Movement, it was commonplace to be told by an editor that he’d like to publish more of my poems, but he’d already published one by a woman that month ... this attitude was the rule rather than the exception, until the mid-sixties. Highest compliment was to be told, “You write like a man.””
