Famous quotes containing the words modern, turf and/or mazes:

    “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)

    “Lie lightly on her, turf and dew:
    She put so little weight on you.”
    —Marcus Valerius Martial (c. 40–104)

    “Others apart sat on a Hill retir’d,
    In thoughts more elevate, and reason’d high
    Of Providence, Foreknowledge, Will, and Fate,
    Fixt Fate, free will, foreknowledge absolute,
    And found no end, in wandring mazes lost.
    Of good and evil much they argu’d then,
    Of happiness and final misery,
    Passion and Apathie, and glory and shame,
    Vain wisdom all, and false Philosophie:”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
