Doorway Pages

Famous quotes containing the words doorway and/or pages:

“A poem should be equal to:
Not true.

For all the history of grief
An empty doorway and a maple leaf.”
—Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)

“Life’s so ordinary that literature has to deal with the exceptional. Exceptional talent, power, social position, wealth.... Drama begins where there’s freedom of choice. And freedom of choice begins when social or psychological conditions are exceptional. That’s why the inhabitants of imaginative literature have always been recruited from the pages of Who’s Who.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
