Famous quotes containing the words grace and/or paley:

    “O, mickle is the powerful grace that lies
    In plants, herbs, stones, and their true qualities;
    For nought so vile that on the earth doth live
    But to the earth some special good doth give.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “...I don’t have an inner drive to do as well as anybody else ... I have a great pleasure in writing and part of that is political and part of that is I’m surprised that I’ve done as well as I have. I really am just surprised.”
    —Grace Paley (b. 1922)
