High Thrust

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or thrust:

    Both cultures encourage innovation and experimentation, but are likely to reject the innovator if his innovation is not accepted by audiences. High culture experiments that are rejected by audiences in the creator’s lifetime may, however, become classics in another era, whereas popular culture experiments are forgotten if not immediately successful. Even so, in both cultures innovation is rare, although in high culture it is celebrated and in popular culture it is taken for granted.
    Herbert J. Gans (b. 1927)

    “I sawe Phoebus thrust out his golden hedde,
    Upon her to gaze:
    But when he sawe how broade her beames did spredde
    It did him amaze.
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
