Famous quotes containing the words time, takes and/or place:
“A veteran journalist ... has never had time to think twice before he writes.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“I am dead against art’s being self-expression. I see an inherent failure in any story which fails to detach itself from the author—detach itself in the sense that a well-blown soap-bubble detaches itself from the bowl of the blower’s pipe and spherically takes off into the air as a new, whole, pure, iridescent world. Whereas the ill-blown bubble, as children know, timidly adheres to the bowl’s lip, then either bursts or sinks flatly back again.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
“History takes place between the Fall and the Apocalypse, with a narrow escape route called Salvation.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
