Famous quotes containing the words person and/or recites:
“If the hero is not a person, the emblem
Of him, even if Xenophon, seems
To stand taller than a person stands, has
A wider brow, large and less human
Eyes and bruted ears: the man-like body
Of a primitive.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“It is a capital blunder; as you discover, when another man recites his charities.”
