Like drops on the window-pane, they ran together and trickled away.“ — Dorothy Parker „Now you get to watch her leave out the window, Guess that's why they call it 'window pane.“ — Eminem „Even through the shut window pane, the world looked cold.“ — George Orwell „Good prose is written only face to face with poetry.“ — Friedrich Nietzsche „The witchlight made his skin paler, his eyes more intently blue. They were the color of the water in the North Atlantic, where the ice drifted on its blue-black surface like the snow clinging to the dark glass pane of a window.“ — Cassandra Clare „Gertrude Stein, in her work, has always been possessed by the intellectual passion for exactitude in the description of the inner and outer reality. She has reproduced simplification by this concentration, and as a result the destruction of associational emotion in poetry and prose. She knows that beauty, music, decoration, the result of emotion should never be the cause, even events should never be the cause of emotion nor should they be the material of poetry or prose. Nor should emotion itself be the cause of poetry and prose. They should consist of an exact reproduction of either an outer or inner reality.“ — Gertrude Stein
