Famous quotes containing the word prose:
“All which is not prose is verse; and all which is not verse is prose.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
“I wish our clever young poets would remember my homely definitions of prose and poetry; that is, prose = words in their best order;Mpoetry = the best words in the best order.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement ... says heaven and earth in one word ... speaks of himself and his predicament as though for the first time. It has the virtue of being able to say twice as much as prose in half the time, and the drawback, if you do not give it your full attention, of seeming to say half as much in twice the time.”
—Christopher Fry (b. 1907)
