Plain Text Files

Famous quotes containing the words plain, text and/or files:

    “They would have me as familiar with men’s pockets as their
    gloves or their handkerchiefs; which makes much against my
    manhood, if I should take from another’s pocket to put into
    mine; for it is plain pocketing up of wrongs.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “If ever I should condescend to prose,
    I’ll write poetical commandments, which
    Shall supersede beyond all doubt all those
    That went before; in these I shall enrich
    My text with many things that no one knows,
    And carry precept to the highest pitch:
    I’ll call the work ‘Longinus o’er a Bottle,
    Or, Every Poet his own Aristotle.’”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Here files of pins extend their shining rows,
    Puffs, powders, patches, bibles, billet-doux.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
