Famous quotes containing the words written and/or marks:
“Since I know nothing of the merits of poetry, I am not able to pass any opinion upon this, but I can see that reap and deep, prayers and bears, ark and dark, true and grew do rhyme, and so I suppose it is a splendid effort, but if you had written it in plain prose, I could have understood it a great deal better and read it a great deal more easily.”
—Susan B. Anthony (18201906)
“With the greater part of rich people, the chief enjoyment of riches consists in the parade of riches, which in their eyes is never so complete as when they appear to possess those decisive marks of opulence which nobody can possess but themselves.”
—Adam Smith (17231790)
