Famous quotes containing the words plain, writing and/or act:

    He all their ammunition
    And feats of war defeats
    With plain heroic magnitude of mind
    And celestial vigour armed;
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    It is like writing history with lightning and my only regret is that it is all so terribly true.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    Each act of criticism is general
    But, in cutting itself off from all the others,
    Explicit enough.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
