Rose Stated

Famous quotes containing the words rose and/or stated:

    “—But he, grim grinning King,
    Who caitiffs scorns, and doth the blest surprise,
    Late having deck’d with beauty’s rose his tomb,
    Disdains to crop a weed, and will not come.”
    —William Drummond, of Hawthornden (1585–1649)

    “Jargon is the verbal sleight of hand that makes the old hat seem newly fashionable; it gives an air of novelty and specious profundity to ideas that, if stated directly, would seem superficial, stale, frivolous, or false. The line between serious and spurious scholarship is an easy one to blur, with jargon on your side.”
    —David Lehman (b. 1948)
