Famous quotes containing the words excellent and/or master:
“When Nature was shaping him, clay was not granted
For making so full-sized a man as she wanted,
So, to fill out her model, a little she spared
From some finer-grained stuff for a woman prepared,
And she could not have hit a more excellent plan
For making him fully and perfectly man.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
“I cringe when critics say I’m a master of the popular novel. What’s an unpopular novel?”
—Irwin Shaw (b. 1913)
