Growth Stage

Famous quotes containing the words growth and/or stage:

“You know that the nucleus of a time is not
The poet but the poem, the growth of the mind
Of the world, the heroic effort to live expressed
As victory. The poet does not speak in ruins
Nor stand there making orotund consolations.
He shares the confusions of intelligence.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“There is but one stage for the peasant and the actor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
