Curious Case

Famous quotes containing the words curious and/or case:

    Be not curious in unnecessary matters: for more things are shewed unto thee than men understand.
    Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus, 3:23.

    The definition of good prose is proper words in their proper places; of good verse, the most proper words in their proper places. The propriety is in either case relative. The words in prose ought to express the intended meaning, and no more; if they attract attention to themselves, it is, in general, a fault.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
