Middle Quill Lake

Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or lake:

“Perhaps if the future existed, concretely and individually, as something that could be discerned by a better brain, the past would not be so seductive: its demands would be balanced by those of the future. Persons might then straddle the middle stretch of the seesaw when considering this or that object. It might be fun.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

“Wordsworth went to the Lakes, but he was never a lake poet. He found in stones the sermons he had already hidden there.”
