More quotes by F. L. Lucas
Poetry had far better imply things than preach them directly... in the open pulpit her voice grows hoarse and fails.
F. L. Lucas
This, indeed, is one of the eternal paradoxes of both life and literature-that without passion little gets done yet, without control of that passion, its effects are largely ill or null.
F. L. Lucas
The only hope I can see for the future depends on a wiser and braver use of the reason, not a panic flight from it.
F. L. Lucas
A man can make himself put down what comes, even if it seems nauseating nonsense tomorrow some of it may not seem wholly nonsense at all.
F. L. Lucas
Might was the measure of right.
F. L. Lucas
And how is clarity to be achieved? Mainly by taking trouble and by writing to serve people rather than to impress them.
