Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or growth:
“Poor devil, poor devil, he’s best gone out of a life where he rides his rocking-horse to find a winner.”

“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)
