Famous quotes containing the words wave and/or writers:
““Justice” was done, and the President of the Immortals, in Æschylean phrase, had ended his sport with Tess. And the d’Urberville knights and dames slept on in their tombs unknowing. The two speechless gazers bent themselves down to the earth, as if in prayer, and remained thus a long time, absolutely motionless: the flag continued to wave silently. As soon as they had strength they arose, joined hands again, and went on.
The End”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“Good writers have two things in common: they would rather be understood than admired, and they do not write for hairsplitting and hypercritical readers.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
