Famous quotes containing the words place and/or choice:
“I press not to the quire, nor dare I greet
The holy place with my unhallowed feet;
My unwashed Muse pollutes not things divine,
Nor mingles her profaner notes with thine;
Here humbly at the porch she listening stays,
And with glad ears sucks in thy sacred lays.”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
“The style of an author should be the image of his mind, but the choice and command of language is the fruit of exercise.”
