—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Viewed freely, the English language is the accretion and growth of every dialect, race, and range of time, and is both the free and compacted composition of all.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“The composition of a tragedy requires testicles.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
