Famous quotes containing the word stated:

“A stated truth loses its grace, but a repeated error appears insipid and ridiculous.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

“The necessity of poetry has to be stated over and over, but only to those who have reason to fear its power, or those who still believe that language is “only words” and that an old language is good enough for our descriptions of the world we are trying to transform.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

“May something go always unharvested!
May much stay out of our stated plan,
Apples or something forgotten and left,
So smelling their sweetness would be no theft.”
