Famous quotes containing the words indirect and/or speech:
“God knows, my son,
By what by-paths and indirect crooked ways
I met this crown.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Speech and prose are not the same thing. They have different wave-lengths, for speech moves at the speed of light, where prose moves at the speed of the alphabet, and must be consecutive and grammatical and word-perfect. Prose cannot gesticulate. Speech can sometimes do nothing more.”
—James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)
