Famous quotes containing the words pen and/or cancel:
“This is no rune nor symbol,
what I mean is it is so simple
yet no trick of the pen or brush
could capture that impression;
what I wanted to indicate was
a new phase, a new distinction of colour.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“Stated clearly enough, an idea may cancel itself out.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
