Village Line

Famous quotes containing the words village and/or line:

    When a village ceases to be a community, it becomes oppressive in its narrow conformity. So one becomes an individual and migrates to the city. There, finding others likeminded, one re- establishes a village community. Nowadays only New Yorkers are yokels.
    Paul Goodman (1911–1972)

    Gascoigne, Ben Jonson, Greville, Raleigh, Donne,
    Poets who wrote great poems, one by one,
    And spaced by many years, each line an act
    Through which few labor, which no men retract.
    This passion is the scholar’s heritage,
    Yvor Winters (1900–1968)
