Famous quotes containing the words development and/or bank:

    “Sleep hath its own world,
    And a wide realm of wild reality.
    And dreams in their development have breath,
    And tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “People get a bad impression of it by continually trying to treat it as if it was a bank clerk, who ought to be on time on Tuesday next, instead of philosophically seeing it as a painter, who may do anything so long as you don’t try to predict what.”
    —Katharine Whitehorn (b. 1926)
