Essay Attacking

Famous quotes containing the words essay and/or attacking:

    There is no room for the impurities of literature in an essay.... the essay must be pure—pure like water or pure like wine, but pure from dullness, deadness, and deposits of extraneous matter.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    In the world there is nothing more submissive and weak than water. Yet for attacking that which is hard and strong nothing can surpass it.
    Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)
