Famous quotes containing the words verse and/or press:
“Much verse fails of being poetry because it was not written exactly at the right crisis, though it may have been inconceivably near to it. It is only by a miracle that poetry is written at all. It is not recoverable thought, but a hue caught from a vaster receding thought.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“No government ought to be without censors; and where the press is free no one ever will.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
