Famous quotes containing the word irregular:
“My father and I were always on the most distant terms when I was a boy—a sort of armed neutrality, so to speak. At irregular intervals this neutrality was broken, and suffering ensued; but I will be candid enough to say that the breaking and the suffering were always divided up with strict impartiality between us—which is to say, my father did the breaking, and I did the suffering.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“The irregular and intimate quality of things made entirely by the human hand.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“I am one of those who hold that poetry is never so blithe as in a wanton and irregular subject.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
