Famous quotes containing the words fort and/or stevens:

    Superstition? Who can define the boundary line between the superstition of yesterday and the scientific fact of tomorrow?
    —Garrett Fort (1900–1945)

    A too-fluent green
    Suggested malice in the dry machine

    Of ocean, pondering dank stratagem.
    Who then beheld the figures of the clouds
    Like blooms secluded in the thick marine?
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
