Line Weight

Famous quotes containing the words line and/or weight:

    One line typed twenty years ago
    can be blazed on a wall in spraypaint
    to glorify art as detachment
    or torture of those we
    did not love but also
    did not want to kill.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    Prose on certain occasions can bear a great deal of poetry; on the other hand, poetry sinks and swoons under a moderate weight of prose.
    Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)
