Anonymous. The Last Word

Famous quotes containing the words anonymous and/or word:

    I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.
    John Updike (b. 1932)

    I’m getting bored with it,
    I tell the typewriter,
    this constantly walking around
    in wet shoes and then, surprise!
    Somehow DECEASED keeps getting
    stamped in red over the word HOPE.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
