Plain Writing

Famous quotes containing the words plain and/or writing:

“O, pluck was he to the backbone and clear grit through and through;
Boasted and bragged like a trooper; but the big words wouldn’t do;
The boy was dying, sir, dying, as plain as plain could be,
Worn out by his ride with Morgan up from the Tennessee.”
—Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840–1894)

“That isn’t writing at all, it’s typing.”
—Truman Capote (1924–1984)
