Subject Lacking

Famous quotes containing the words subject and/or lacking:

“I have always hated biography, and more especially, autobiography. If biography, the writer invariably finds it necessary to plaster the subject with praises, flattery and adulation and to invest him with all the Christian graces. If autobiography, the same plan is followed, but the writer apologizes for it.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)

“if she were lacking all grace
they’d pass her in silence:
so it’s not only to say she’s
a warm hole.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
