Famous quotes containing the words short and/or writing:
“Iambics march from short to long;—
With a leap and a bound the swift Anapaests throng;”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“One can write out of love or hate. Hate tells one a great deal about a person. Love makes one become the person. Love, contrary to legend, is not half as blind, at least for writing purposes, as hate. Love can see the evil and not cease to be love. Hate cannot see the good and remain hate. The writer, writing out of hatred, will, thus, paint a far more partial picture than if he had written out of love.”
—Jessamyn West (1902–1984)
