Famous quotes containing the words works, hughes and/or affair:

    In all Works of This, and of the Dramatic Kind, STORY, or AMUSEMENT, should be considered as little more than the Vehicle to the more necessary INSTRUCTION.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    As I learn from you,
    I guess you learn from me—
    although you’re older—and white—
    and somewhat more free.

    This is my page for English B.
    —Langston Hughes (1902–1967)

    An affair wants to spill, to share its glory with the world. No act is so private it does not seek applause.
    John Updike (b. 1932)
