Simple Structures

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or structures:

“Cannot a plain man live and think no harm,
But that his simple truth must be abused
With silken, sly, insinuating Jacks?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“It is clear that all verbal structures with meaning are verbal imitations of that elusive psychological and physiological process known as thought, a process stumbling through emotional entanglements, sudden irrational convictions, involuntary gleams of insight, rationalized prejudices, and blocks of panic and inertia, finally to reach a completely incommunicable intuition.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
