Trivial Theory

Famous quotes containing the words trivial and/or theory:

    “Oh, blank confusion! true epitome
    Of what the mighty city is herself,
    To thousands upon thousands of her sons,
    Living amid the same perpetual whirl
    Of trivial objects, melted and reduced
    To one identity, by differences
    That have no law, no meaning, and no end—”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “Thus the theory of description matters most.
    It is the theory of the word for those
    For whom the word is the making of the world,
    The buzzing world and lisping firmament.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
