Famous quotes containing the word polish:

    “Like the train’s beat
    Swift language flutters the lips
    Of the Polish airgirl in the corner seat.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Take a commonplace, clean it and polish it, light it so that it produces the same effect of youth and freshness and originality and spontaneity as it did originally, and you have done a poet’s job. The rest is literature.”
    —Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

    “An acquaintance with the muses, in the education of youth, contributes not a little to soften the manners. It gives a delicate turn to the imagination, and a kind of polish to the mind in severer studies.”
    —Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
