Modern Swing

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or swing:

“The higher processes are all processes of simplification. The novelist must learn to write, and then he must unlearn it; just as the modern painter learns to draw, and then learns when utterly to disregard his accomplishment, when to subordinate it to a higher and truer effect.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)

“wherever we recognize the image of God let us reverence it; though it swing from the gallows.”
