Famous quotes containing the words henry and/or steiner:

    Shy and unready men are great betrayers of secrets; for there are few wants more urgent for the moment than the want of something to say.
    —Sir Henry Taylor (1800–1886)

    The violent illiteracies of the graffiti, the clenched silence of the adolescent, the nonsense cries from the stage-happening, are resolutely strategic. The insurgent and the freak-out have broken off discourse with a cultural system which they despise as a cruel, antiquated fraud. They will not bandy words with it. Accept, even momentarily, the conventions of literate linguistic exchange, and you are caught in the net of the old values, of the grammars that can condescend or enslave.
    —George Steiner (b. 1929)
