General Marshall

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or marshall:

    Every writer is necessarily a critic—that is, each sentence is a skeleton accompanied by enormous activity of rejection; and each selection is governed by general principles concerning truth, force, beauty, and so on.... The critic that is in every fabulist is like the iceberg—nine-tenths of him is under water.
    Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)

    Slowly the night blooms, unfurling
    Flowers of darkness, covering
    The trellised sky, becoming
    A bouquet of blackness
    —Frank Marshall Davis (b. 1905)
