Ink/history

Famous quotes containing the words ink and/or history:

“The self-styled intellectual who is impotent with pen and ink hungers to write history with sword and blood.”

“The custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
