Simple Path

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or path:

“It is a curious emotion, this certain homesickness I have in mind. With Americans, it is a national trait, as native to us as the rollercoaster or the jukebox. It is no simple longing for the home town or country of our birth. The emotion is Janus-faced: we are torn between a nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.”
—Carson McCullers (1917–1967)

“In the path of an action merely typical
To create the universal, originate a symbol
Out of the impact?”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
