Gold

Famous quotes containing the word gold:

“We ask which means most, for us, all the genii
Or one man who, for us, is greater than they.
On his gold horse striding, like a conjured beast,
Miraculous in its panache and swish?”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
