Ways

Famous quotes containing the word ways:

    “Provence,
    The Renascence, the age of Pericles, each
    A broad, rich-carpeted stair to pride
    With manhood now the cost they’re easy to follow
    For the ways taken are all notorious,
    Lettered, sculptured, and rhymed....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “Art and science coincide insofar as both aim to improve the lives of men and women. The latter normally concerns itself with profit, the former with pleasure. In the coming age, art will fashion our entertainment out of new means of productivity in ways that will simultaneously enhance our profit and maximize our pleasure.”
    —Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)

    “I could be, I discovered, by turns stern, loving, wise, silly, youthful, aged, racial, universal, indulgent, strict, with a remarkably easy and often cunning detachment ... various ways that an adult, spurred by guilt, by annoyance, by condescension, by loneliness, deals with the prerogatives of power and love.”
    —Gerald Early (20th century)
