Famous quotes containing the word persons:
“Swans sing before they die—’twere no bad thing
Should certain persons die before they sing.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“As a novelist, I cannot occupy myself with “characters,” or at any rate central ones, who lack panache, in one or another sense, who would be incapable of a major action or a major passion, or who have not a touch of the ambiguity, the ultimate unaccountability, the enlarging mistiness of persons “in history.” History, as more austerely I now know it, is not romantic. But I am.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
“One merit of poetry few persons will deny: it says more and in fewer words than prose.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
