Curious Case

Famous quotes containing the words curious and/or case:

“One of the People! Born to be
Their curious epitome;
To share yet rise above
Their shifting hate and love.”

“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)
