Verse Quotations
All which is not prose is verse; and all which is not verse is prose. Moliere I read and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me. Anna Quindlen Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down. Robert Frost Do it again on the next verse, and people think you meant it. Chet Atkins With a lot of songs on this record, one verse doesn't relate to the next verse. I don't think that one day really relates to the next day in life. Neil Young |
