Wake Source

Famous quotes containing the words wake and/or source:

“I wake and feel the fell of dark, not day.
What hours, O what black hours we have spent
This night!”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)

“If, for instance, they have heard something from the postman, they attribute it to “a semi-official statement”; if they have fallen into conversation with a stranger at a bar, they can conscientiously describe him as “a source that has hitherto proved unimpeachable.” It is only when the journalist is reporting a whim of his own, and one to which he attaches minor importance, that he defines it as the opinion of “well-informed circles.””
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
