Famous quotes containing the words narrative and/or voice:
“The narrative impulse is always with us; we couldnt imagine ourselves through a day without it.”
—Robert Coover (b. 1932)
“The steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (18661934)
