Source Rocks

Famous quotes containing the words source and/or rocks:

“If, for instance, they have heard something from the postman, they attribute it to “a semi-official statement”; if they have fallen into conversation with a stranger at a bar, they can conscientiously describe him as “a source that has hitherto proved unimpeachable.” It is only when the journalist is reporting a whim of his own, and one to which he attaches minor importance, that he defines it as the opinion of “well-informed circles.””
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)

“Another time I go outside
Into the world. It rocks on and on.
It was rocking before I saw it
And is presumably doing so still.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
