Famous quotes containing the words original and/or manuscript:
“He would cry out on life, that what it wants
Is not its own love back in copy speech,
But counter-love, original response.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“This nightmare occupied some ten pages of manuscript and wound off with a sermon so destructive of all hope to non-Presbyterians that it took the first prize. This composition was considered to be the very finest effort of the evening.... It may be remarked, in passing, that the number of compositions in which the word “beauteous” was over-fondled, and human experience referred to as “life’s page,” was up to the usual average.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
