Famous quotes containing the words plain and/or speaker:
“the thousand colors
in her plain brown hair—
morning sunshine”
—Bernard Lionel Einbond (b. 1937)
“English audiences of working people are like an instrument that responds to the player. Thought ripples up and down them, and if in some heart the speaker strikes a dissonance there is a swift answer. Always the voice speaks from gallery or pit, the terrible voice which detaches itself in every English crowd, full of caustic wit, full of irony or, maybe, approval.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)
