Famous quotes containing the words recurrent and/or nerve:

    My sleep is made cold
    By a recurrent dream....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce great poetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama; but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
