Famous quotes containing the words express and/or pass:
“The definition of good prose is proper words in their proper places; of good verse, the most proper words in their proper places. The propriety is in either case relative. The words in prose ought to express the intended meaning, and no more; if they attract attention to themselves, it is, in general, a fault.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“Our ideas are for the most part like bad sixpences, and we spend our lives trying to pass them on one another.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
