Reason Phrase

Famous quotes containing the words reason and/or phrase:

“One reason writers write is out of revenge. Life hurts; certain ideas and experiences hurt; one wants to clarify, to set out illuminations, to replay the old bad scenes and get the Treppenworte said—the words one didn’t have the strength or ripeness to say when those words were necessary for one’s dignity or survival.”
—Cynthia Ozick (b. 1928)

““Poor but happy” is not a phrase invented by a poor person.”
