Famous quotes containing the word source:

“The source of poetry that
seeing the clock stopped, says,
The clock has stopped

that ticked yesterday so well?”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

“There is no such source of error as the pursuit of absolute truth.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

“If, for instance, they have heard something from the postman, they attribute it to “a semi-official statement”; if they have fallen into conversation with a stranger at a bar, they can conscientiously describe him as “a source that has hitherto proved unimpeachable.” It is only when the journalist is reporting a whim of his own, and one to which he attaches minor importance, that he defines it as the opinion of “well-informed circles.””
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
