Plain Text Files

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

    “When first my lines of heavenly joys made mention,
    Such was their luster, they did so excel,
    That I sought out quaint words and trim invention;
    My thoughts began to burnish, sprout, and swell,
    Curling with metaphors a plain intention,
    Decking the sense as if it were to sell.”
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    “I am so glad you have been able to preserve the text in all of its impurity.”
    —Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

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