    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    Think of the many different relations of form and content. E.g., the many pairs of trousers and what’s in them.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Plot, rules, nor even poetry, are not half so great beauties in tragedy or comedy as a just imitation of nature, of character, of the passions and their operations in diversified situations.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
