Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or work:

    “Simile and Metaphor differ only in degree of stylistic refinement. The Simile, in which a comparison is made directly between two objects, belongs to an earlier stage of literary expression; it is the deliberate elaboration of a correspondence, often pursued for its own sake. But a Metaphor is the swift illumination of an equivalence. Two images, or an idea and an image, stand equal and opposite; clash together and respond significantly, surprising the reader with a sudden light.”
    —Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)

    “Because I have work to care about, it is possible that I may be less difficult to get along with than other women when the double chins start to form.”
    —Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
