Famous quotes containing the words poor and/or growth:
“Thou source of all my bliss and all my woe,
That found’st me poor at first, and keep’st me so.”

“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)
