Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or form:

    “The higher processes are all processes of simplification. The novelist must learn to write, and then he must unlearn it; just as the modern painter learns to draw, and then learns when utterly to disregard his accomplishment, when to subordinate it to a higher and truer effect.”
    —Willa Cather (1873–1947)

    “Those who live by the sea can hardly form a single thought of which the sea would not be part.”
