Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or roots:
“Chaucer sawed life in half and out tumbled hundreds of unpremeditated lives, because he didnt have the cast-iron grid of a priori coherence that makes reading Goethe, Shakespeare, or Dante an exercise in searching for signs of life among the conventions, compulsions, self-justifications, proofs, wise saws, simple but powerful messages, and poetry.”
—Marvin Mudrick (19211986)
“April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
