Famous quotes containing the words blake and/or writes:
““Why cannot the ear be closed to its own destruction?
Or the glistening eye to the poison of a smile?”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“I have not much faith in women in fiction.... Women are so horribly subjective and they have such scorn for the healthy commonplace. When a woman writes a story of adventure, a stout sea tale, a manly battle yarn, anything without wine, women, and love, then I will begin to hope for something great from them, not before.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
