    “When an image is said to be singular, it is meant that it is absolutely determinate in all respects. Every possible character, or the negative thereof, must be true of such an image.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    “The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    “I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.”
    —Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)

    “Only a great actor finds the difficulties of the actor’s art infinite.”
    —Ellen Terry (1847–1928)

    “Speech belongs half to the speaker, half to the listener. The latter must prepare to receive it according to the motion it takes.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “Poetry, and Picture, are Arts of a like nature; and both are busie about imitation. It was excellently said of Plutarch, Poetry was a speaking Picture, and Picture a mute Poesie. For they both invent, faine, and devise many things, and accommodate all they invent to the use, and service of nature. Yet of the two, the Pen is more noble, than the Pencill. For that can speake to the Understanding; the other, but to the Sense.”
    —Ben Jonson (1573–1637)
