Turns Left

Famous quotes containing the words turns and/or left:

    The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)

    Weaker and weaker, the sunlight falls
    In the afternoon. The proud and the strong
    Have departed.
    Those that are left are the unaccomplished,
    The finally human,
    Natives of a dwindled sphere.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
