Famous quotes containing the words prose and/or poetry:

    “Speech and prose are not the same thing. They have different wave-lengths, for speech moves at the speed of light, where prose moves at the speed of the alphabet, and must be consecutive and grammatical and word-perfect. Prose cannot gesticulate. Speech can sometimes do nothing more.”
    —James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)

    “An age which is incapable of poetry is incapable of any kind of literature except the cleverness of a decadence.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
