Voice Role

Famous quotes containing the words voice and/or role:

    Prose—it might be speculated—is discourse; poetry ellipsis. Prose is spoken aloud; poetry overheard. The one is presumably articulate and social, a shared language, the voice of “communication”; the other is private, allusive, teasing, sly, idiosyncratic as the spider’s delicate web, a kind of witchcraft unfathomable to ordinary minds.
    Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)

    To win by strategy is no less the role of a general than to win by arms.
    Julius Caesar [Gaius Julius Caesar] (100–44 B.C.)
