Famous quotes containing the words rate and/or flow:

    “As a novelist, I cannot occupy myself with “characters,” or at any rate central ones, who lack panache, in one or another sense, who would be incapable of a major action or a major passion, or who have not a touch of the ambiguity, the ultimate unaccountability, the enlarging mistiness of persons “in history.” History, as more austerely I now know it, is not romantic.

    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    —Jackson Pollock (1912–1956)
