Famous quotes containing the words expressed and/or repentance:
“Morality for the novelist is expressed not so much in the choice of subject matter as in the plot of the narrative, which is perhaps why in our morally bewildered time novelists have often been timid about plot.”
—Jane Rule (b. 1931)
“Enthusiasm. A distemper of youth, curable by small doses of repentance in connection with outward applications of experience.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
