Standing/control

Famous quotes containing the words standing and/or control:

    I’m telling the truth.
    I’m standing at death’s door
    and even today
    my sight falls
    on that thicket
    on the Tpt’s pure banks,
    just as before.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    When a book, any sort of book, reaches a certain intensity of artistic performance it becomes literature. That intensity may be a matter of style, situation, character, emotional tone, or idea, or half a dozen other things. It may also be a perfection of control over the movement of a story similar to the control a great pitcher has over the ball.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
