Famous quotes containing the words opening and/or monologue:
“But every insight from this realm of thought is felt as initial, and promises a sequel. I do not make it; I arrive there, and behold what was there already. I make! O no! I clap my hands in infantine joy and amazement, before the first opening to me of this august magnificence, old with the love and homage of innumerable ages, young with the life of life, the sunbright Mecca of the desert.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Dear Felix, I have found some work for you. First of all we must have an eye-to-eye monologue and get things settled.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
