Springs

Famous quotes containing the word springs:

    Out of the slimy mud of words, out of the sleet and hail of verbal imprecisions,
    Approximate thoughts and feelings, words that have taken the place of thoughts and feelings,
    There springs the perfect order of speech, and the beauty of incantation.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    There can be a true grandeur in any degree of submissiveness, because it springs from loyalty to the laws and to an oath, and not from baseness of soul.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling. To be natural is to be obvious, and to be obvious is to be inartistic.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
