Plain Writing

Famous quotes containing the words plain and/or writing:

“It is plain that the reviewers, both here and abroad, do not know how to dispose of this man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“A man who publishes his letters becomes a nudist—nothing shields him from the world’s gaze except his bare skin. A writer, writing away, can always fix himself up to make himself more presentable, but a man who has written a letter is stuck with it for all time.”
—E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
