Famous quotes containing the words smart and/or growth:

    For if he meets another cat he will kiss her in kindness.
    For when he takes his prey he plays with it to give it chance.
    —Christopher Smart (1722–1771)

    You know that the nucleus of a time is not
    The poet but the poem, the growth of the mind
    Of the world, the heroic effort to live expressed
    As victory. The poet does not speak in ruins
    Nor stand there making orotund consolations.
    He shares the confusions of intelligence.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
