Simple Idea

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or idea:

    Uncontradicting solitude
    Supports me on its giant palm;
    And like a sea-anemone
    or simple snail, there cautiously
    Unfolds, emerges, what I am.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Ideas are invented only as correctives to the past. Through repeated rectifications of this kind one may hope to disengage an idea that is valid.
    Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)
