Fountain Pens Accept

Famous quotes containing the words fountain, pens and/or accept:

    Don’t say, don’t say there is no water
    to solace the dryness at our hearts.
    I have seen
    the fountain springing out of the rock wall
    and you drinking there.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    There is no one kind of thing that we ‘perceive’ but many different kinds, the number being reducible if at all by scientific investigation and not by philosophy: pens are in many ways though not in all ways unlike rainbows, which are in many ways though not in all ways unlike after-images, which in turn are in many ways but not in all ways unlike pictures on the cinema-screen—and so on.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)

    Truly speaking, it is not instruction, but provocation, that I can receive from another soul. What he announces, I must find true in me, or reject; and on his word, or as his second, be he who he may, I can accept nothing.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
