Virginia Steele Scott

Famous quotes containing the words steele and/or scott:

    It’s a particular Observation I have always made, That of all Mortals, a Critick is the silliest; for by inuring himself to examine all Things, whether they are of Consequence or not, he never looks upon any Thing but with a Design of passing Sentence upon it; by which Means, he is never a Companion, but always a Censor.
    —Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    In a real dark night of the soul it is always three o’clock in the morning, day after day.
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
