Famous quotes containing the words typical and/or owls:
“Sinclair Lewis is the perfect example of the false sense of time of the newspaper world.... [ellipsis in source] He was always dominated by an artificial time when he wrote Main Street.... He did not create actual human beings at any time. That is what makes it newspaper. Sinclair Lewis is the typical newspaperman and everything he says is newspaper. The difference between a thinker and a newspaperman is that a thinker enters right into things, a newspaperman is superficial.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“There was an old man with a beard,
who said, “It is just as I feared!—
Two owls and a hen, four larks and a wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!””
—Edward Lear (1812–1888)
