Warning Signs

Famous quotes containing the words warning and/or signs:

    By day thy warning ringing bell to sound its notes,
    By night thy silent signal lamps to swing.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    Chaucer sawed life in half and out tumbled hundreds of unpremeditated lives, because he didn’t have the cast-iron grid of a priori coherence that makes reading Goethe, Shakespeare, or Dante an exercise in searching for signs of life among the conventions, compulsions, self-justifications, proofs, wise saws, simple but powerful messages, and poetry.
    Marvin Mudrick (1921–1986)
