Famous quotes containing the words donne and/or wrote:
“Go, and catch a falling star,
Get with child a mandrake root,
Tell me, where all past years are,
Or who cleft the devils foot,
Teach me to her mermaids singing,
Or to keep off envys stinging,
And find
What wind
Serves to advance an honest mind.”
—John Donne (c. 15721631)
“Writers dont write from experience, although many are hesitant to admit that they dont. ...If you wrote from experience, youd get maybe one book, maybe three poems. Writers write from empathy.”
—Nikki Giovanni (b. 1943)
