Famous quotes containing the words verse and/or press:
“When I a verse shall make,
Know I have prayed thee,
For old religion’s sake,
Saint Ben, to aid me.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
“Our press is certainly bankrupt in the “thrill of awe”Motherwise reverence: reverence for nickel plate and brummagem. Let us sincerely hope that this fact will remain a fact forever; for to my mind a discriminating irreverence is the creator and protector of human liberty.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
