Famous quotes containing the words body and/or lean:
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“The lean cats of the arches of the churches,
That’s the old world. In the new, all men are priests.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
