Famous quotes containing the word prose:

    Good Heavens! For more than forty years I have been speaking prose without knowing it.
    Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

    Any man who can write a page of living prose adds something to our life, and the man who can, as I can, is surely the last to resent someone who can do it even better. An artist cannot deny art, nor would he want to. A lover cannot deny love.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
