Famous quotes containing the words test and/or flights:
“The face we see was never young,
Nor could it ever have been old.
For he, to whom we had applied
Our shopmans test of age and worth,
Was elemental when he died,
As he was ancient at his birth:”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (18691935)
“It is true that writers often owe their most inspired thoughts, their most extraordinary phrases, to their generous typesetters, who assist their flights of fancy with so-called typographical errors.”
