Simple Path

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or path:

“Poetry is the most direct and simple means of expressing oneself in words: the most primitive nations have poetry, but only quite well developed civilizations can produce good prose. So don’t think of poetry as a perverse and unnatural way of distorting ordinary prose statements: prose is a much less natural way of speaking than poetry is. If you listen to small children, and to the amount of chanting and singsong in their speech, you’ll see what I mean.”
—Northrop Frye (1912–1991)

“Old and fat, I waddle, gasping, up the beckoning path of lust.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
