Direct Characters

Famous quotes containing the words direct and/or characters:

    No direct hit to smash the shatter-proof
    And lodge at last the quivering needle
    Clean in the eye of one who stands transfixed
    In fascination of her brightness.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    I make it a kind of pious rule to go to every funeral to which I am invited, both as I wish to pay a proper respect to the dead, unless their characters have been bad, and as I would wish to have the funeral of my own near relations or of myself well attended.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)
