Famous quotes containing the word thinker:
“The thinker as reader reads what has been written.
He wears the words he reads to look upon
Within his being....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Sinclair Lewis is the perfect example of the false sense of time of the newspaper world.... [ellipsis in source] He was always dominated by an artificial time when he wrote Main Street.... He did not create actual human beings at any time. That is what makes it newspaper. Sinclair Lewis is the typical newspaperman and everything he says is newspaper. The difference between a thinker and a newspaperman is that a thinker enters right into things, a newspaperman is superficial.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet. Then all things are at risk.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
