Ease

Famous quotes containing the word ease:

    I taught myself to name my name,
    To bark back, loosen love and crying;
    To ease my woman so she came,
    To ease an old man who was dying.
    William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)

    A judgment about life has no meaning except the truth of the one who speaks last, and the mind is at ease only at the moment when everyone is shouting at once and no one can hear a thing.
    Georges Bataille (1897–1962)

    Such is the art of writing as Dreiser understands it and practices it—an endless piling up of minutiae, an almost ferocious tracking down of ions, electrons and molecules, an unshakable determination to tell it all. One is amazed by the mole-like diligence of the man, and no less by his exasperating disregard for the ease of his readers.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
