Fixed Form

Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or form:

    The body is but a pair of pincers set over a bellows and a stewpan and the whole fixed upon stilts.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    I have discovered the most exciting, the most arduous literary form of all, the most difficult to master, the most pregnant in curious possibilities. I mean the advertisement.... It is far easier to write ten passably effective Sonnets, good enough to take in the not too inquiring critic, than one effective advertisement that will take in a few thousand of the uncritical buying public.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
