Golden Laurel

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or laurel:

“Flushed with new life, the crowd flows back again:
And all is tangled talk and mazy motion—
Much like a waving field of golden grain,
Or a tempestuous ocean.
And thus they give the time, that Nature meant
For peaceful sleep and meditative snores,
To ceaseless din and mindless merriment
And waste of shoes and floors.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

“Popularity is the crown of laurel which the world puts on bad art. Whatever is popular is wrong.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
