Gass Appeared

Famous quotes containing the words gass and/or appeared:

    How do we know, then, when a code’s been cracked? ... when we are right? ... when do we know if we have even received a message? Why, naturally, when, upon one set of substitutions, sense emerges like the outline under a rubbing; when a single tentative construal leads to several; when all the sullen letters of the code cry TEAM! after YEA! has been, by several hands, uncovered.
    —William Gass (b. 1924)

    ... to be “literary” appeared to my deluded innocence as an unending romance.
    Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
