Negative Terms

Famous quotes containing the words negative and/or terms:

“Isolation in creative work is an onerous thing. Better to have negative criticism than nothing at all.”

“Consider his life which was valueless
In terms of employment, hotel ledgers, news files.
Consider. One bullet in ten thousand kills a man.
Ask. Was so much expenditure justified
On the death of one so young and so silly
Lying under the olive tree, O world, O death?”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
