Famous quotes containing the words cover, parodies and/or usage:

    “Every individual ought to know at least one poet from cover to cover: if not as a guide through the world, then as a yardstick for the language.”
    —Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)

    “The parody is the last refuge of the frustrated writer. Parodies are what you write when you are associate editor of the Harvard Lampoon. The greater the work of literature, the easier the parody. The step up from writing parodies is writing on the wall above the urinal.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “...Often the accurate answer to a usage question begins, “It depends.” And what it depends on most often is where you are, who you are, who your listeners or readers are, and what your purpose in speaking or writing is.”
    —Kenneth G. Wilson (b. 1923)
