Originally Written

Famous quotes containing the words originally and/or written:

“If all power is in the people, if there is no higher law than their will, and if by counting their votes, their will may be ascertained—then the people may entrust all their power to anyone, and the power of the pretender and the usurper is then legitimate. It is not to be challenged since it came originally from the sovereign people.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

“Now that you’ve written it
In novels and a few verses,
Will the pimps and harlots say
That Destiny’s a wit?”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
