Degrees East

Famous quotes containing the words degrees and/or east:

    I was by degrees awakened as from a dream, and feared that my whole life could properly be counted nothing else but a fantastic vision.
    Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

    It is the business of thought to define things, to find the boundaries; thought, indeed, is a ceaseless process of definition. It is the business of Art to give things shape. Anyone who takes no delight in the firm outline of an object, or in its essential character, has no artistic sense.... He cannot even be nourished by Art. Like Ephraim, he feeds upon the East wind, which has no boundaries.
    Vance Palmer (1885–1959)
