Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or growth:
“When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept;
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“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)
