“The words that bore the deathless verse of Homer from bard to a group of fascinated hearers, and with whose fading sounds the poems passed beyond recall, are fixed on the printed page in a hundred tongues. They carry to a million eyes what once could reach but a hundred ears.” EyeSoundMillionsGroupsPagesHundredEarsTongueFixedFascinatedRecallsBoresVersesPrintedFadingDeathlessBards Book:Philosophy Source: Philosophy

“Improvisation helps because you get what's on the page and you make it a little more palatable to your tongue. And that's the beauty of creating and being spontaneous. That's the way I love to work.” WayLittlesHelpingCreatingPagesTongueSpontaneousImprovisation Author:Taraji P. Henson
“I ate them like salad, books were my sandwich for lunch, my tiffin and dinner and midnight munch. I tore out the pages, ate them with salt, doused them with relish, gnawed on the bindings, turned the chapters with my tongue! Books by the dozen, the score and the billion. I carried so many home I was hunchbacked for years. Philosophy, art history, politics, social science, the poem, the essay, the grandiose play, you name 'em, I ate 'em.” YearsArtBookPhilosophyPlayHomeNamesSocialPagesDinnerTongueBillionsScoreEmsLunchDozenSaltChaptersMidnightEssaysSandwichesSaladRelishBindingSocial ScienceArt HistoryGrandioseMany Homes Author:Ray Bradbury
