Vulgar Writing

Famous quotes containing the words vulgar and/or writing:

    Heaven grant him now some noble nook,
    For, rest his soul! he’d rather be
    Genteelly damn’d beside a Duke,
    Than sav’d in vulgar company.
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    A man who publishes his letters becomes a nudist—nothing shields him from the world’s gaze except his bare skin. A writer, writing away, can always fix himself up to make himself more presentable, but a man who has written a letter is stuck with it for all time.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
