Famous quotes containing the words whiskers and/or function:

    A little quaker, the whole body of him trembling,
    His absurd whiskers sticking out like a cartoon-mouse,

    Little lizard-feet,
    Whitish and spread wide when he tried to struggle away,
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    The more books we read, the clearer it becomes that the true function of a writer is to produce a masterpiece and that no other task is of any consequence.
