Brenda Wineapple Quotes

We Talk Of Literature As If It Were A Mere Matter Of Rule And Measurement, A Series Of Processes Long Since Brought To Mechanical Perfection: But It Would Be Less Incorrect To Say That It All Lies In The Future; Tried By The Outdoor Standard, There Is As Yet No Literature, But Only Glimpses And Guideboards; No Writer Has Yet Succeeded In Sustaining, Through More Than Some Single Occasional Sentence, That Fresh And Perfect Charm. If By The Training Of A Lifetime One Could Succeed In Producing One Continuous Page Of Perfect Cadence, It Would Be A Life Well Spent, And Such A Literary Artist Would Fall Short Of Nature's Standard In Quantity Only, Not In Quality.
