Famous quotes containing the words grace and/or paley:
“Thus Pegasus, a nearer way to take,
May boldly deviate from the common track.
From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part,
And snatch a grace beyond the reach of art,
Which without passing through the judgment, gains
The heart, and all its end at once attains.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“... people will sometimes say, “Why don’t you write more politics?” And I have to explain to them that writing the lives of women is politics.”
—Grace Paley (b. 1922)
