Famous quotes containing the words common and/or responses:

    There comes Poe, with his raven, like Barnaby Rudge,
    Three-fifths of him genius, and two-fifths sheer fudge.
    Who talks like a book of iambs and pentameters,
    In a way to make people of common sense damn metres,

    But the heart somehow seems all squeezed out by the mind.
    James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
