Famous quotes containing the words biographical and/or sources:
“Biography, in its purer form, confined to the ended lives of the true and brave, may be held the fairest meed of human virtue—one given and received in entire disinterestedness—since neither can the biographer hope for acknowledgment from the subject, not the subject at all avail himself of the biographical distinction conferred.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“The sources of poetry are in the spirit seeking completeness.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
