Uniform Worn

Famous quotes containing the words uniform and/or worn:

    The maples
    Stood uniform in buckets, and the steam
    Of sap and snow rolled off the sugarhouse.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    No one can write a best seller by trying to. He must write with complete sincerity; the clichés that make you laugh, the hackneyed characters, the well-worn situations, the commonplace story that excites your derision, seem neither hackneyed, well worn nor commonplace to him.... The conclusion is obvious: you cannot write anything that will convince unless you are yourself convinced. The best seller sells because he writes with his heart’s blood.
    W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1966)
