Fine Tuned

Famous quotes containing the words fine and/or tuned:

“What we are, that only can we see. All that Adam had, all that Caesar could, you have and can do. Adam called his house, heaven and earth; Caesar called his house, Rome; you perhaps call yours, a cobbler’s trade; a hundred acres of ploughed land; or a scholar’s garret. Yet line for line and point for point, your dominion is as great as theirs, though without fine names. Build, therefore, your own world.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Pitiless verse? A few words tuned
And tuned and tuned and tuned.
It is good.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
