Famous quotes containing the words john, wesley and/or snyder:

    Well, I know you haven’t had much experience writing and none at all in pictures. But I’ve heard about you. It all sounded like you’re just the man I wanted for a story about the Navy. I don’t want a story just about ships and planes. I want a story about the officers.... I want this story from a pen dipped in salt water not dry martinis. Do you know what I mean?
    Frank Fenton, William Wister Haines, co-scenarist, and John Ford. John Dodge (Ward Bond)

    Once in seven years I burn all my sermons; for it is a shame if I cannot write better sermons now than I did seven years ago.
    —John Wesley (1703–1791)

    These boys who love their mother
    who loves men, who passes on
    her sons to other women;

    The cloud across the sky. The windy pines.
    the trickle gurgle in the swampy meadow

    this is our body.
    —Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
