Famous quotes containing the words sentence and/or conversation:
“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)
“Man is the broken giant, and in all his weakness both his body and his mind are invigorated by habits of conversation with nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
