Famous quotes containing the words rule and/or sparkle:
“Until the Women’s Movement, it was commonplace to be told by an editor that he’d like to publish more of my poems, but he’d already published one by a woman that month ... this attitude was the rule rather than the exception, until the mid-sixties. Highest compliment was to be told, “You write like a man.””
—Maxine Kumin (b. 1925)
“When did your sparkle turn to fire and your warmth become desire?”
—Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)
