David Daiches quotes
-
“The proper drinking of Scotch whisky is more than indulgence: it is a toast to civilization, a tribute to the continuity of culture, a manifesto of man's determination to use the resources of nature to refresh mind and body and enjoy to the full the senses with which he has been endowed.”
-- David Daiches -
“In its use of words poetry is just the reverse of science. Very definite thoughts do occur, but not because the words are so chosen as logically to bar out all possibilities save one.”
-- David Daiches -
“Literature is man's exploration of man by artificial light, which is better than natural light because we can direct it where we want.”
-- David Daiches
