Famous quotes containing the words surface and/or processes:

“The surface of the ground in the Maine woods is everywhere spongy and saturated with moisture.”

“The higher processes are all processes of simplification. The novelist must learn to write, and then he must unlearn it; just as the modern painter learns to draw, and then learns when utterly to disregard his accomplishment, when to subordinate it to a higher and truer effect.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
