Famous quotes containing the words written and/or language:
“Since I know nothing of the merits of poetry, I am not able to pass any opinion upon this, but I can see that reap and deep, prayers and bears, ark and dark, true and grew do rhyme, and so I suppose it is a splendid effort, but if you had written it in plain prose, I could have understood it a great deal better and read it a great deal more easily.”
—Susan B. Anthony (18201906)
“A president, however, must stand somewhat apart, as all great presidents have known instinctively. Then the language which has the power to survive its own utterance is the most likely to move those to whom it is immediately spoken.”
