Selection Series

Famous quotes containing the words selection and/or series:

“Every writer is necessarily a critic—that is, each sentence is a skeleton accompanied by enormous activity of rejection; and each selection is governed by general principles concerning truth, force, beauty, and so on.... The critic that is in every fabulist is like the iceberg—nine-tenths of him is under water.”
—Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)

“Mortality: not acquittal but a series of postponements is what we hope for.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
