Association Stated

Famous quotes containing the words association and/or stated:

“The spiritual kinship between Lincoln and Whitman was founded upon their Americanism, their essential Westernism. Whitman had grown up without much formal education; Lincoln had scarcely any education. One had become the notable poet of the day; one the orator of the Gettsyburg Address. It was inevitable that Whitman as a poet should turn with a feeling of kinship to Lincoln, and even without any association or contact feel that Lincoln was his.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)

“A stated truth loses its grace, but a repeated error appears insipid and ridiculous.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
