Modified Potatoes

Famous quotes containing the words modified and/or potatoes:

“Poetry presents indivisible wholes of human consciousness, modified and ordered by the stringent requirements of form. Prose, aiming at a definite and concrete goal, generally suppresses everything inessential to its purpose; poetry, existing only to exhibit itself as an aesthetic object, aims only at completeness and perfection of form.”
—Richard Harter Fogle, U.S. critic, educator. The Imagery of Keats and Shelley, ch. 1, University of North Carolina Press (1949)

“a fat Reichian wife screeching over potatoes Get a job!
And five nose running brats in love with Batman”
—Gregory Corso (b. 1930)
