Forced Depth

Famous quotes containing the words forced and/or depth:

“The intellect of man is forced to choose
Perfection of the life, or of the work,”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Narrowed-down by her early editors and anthologists, reduced to quaintness or spinsterish oddity by many of her commentators, sentimentalized, fallen-in-love with like some gnomic Garbo, still unread in the breadth and depth of her full range of work, she was, and is, a wonder to me when I try to imagine myself into that mind.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
