Famous quotes containing the word interior:

    “Prose is architecture, not interior decoration, and the Baroque is over.”
    —Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)

    “Professor Eucalyptus said, “The search
    For reality is as momentous as
    The search for god.” It is the philosopher’s search
    For an interior made exterior
    And the poet’s search for the same exterior made
    Interior: breathless things broodingly abreath....”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Anyone with a real taste for solitude who indulges that taste encounters the dangers of any other drug-taker. The habit grows. You become an addict.... Absorbed in the visions of solitude, human beings are only interruptions. What voice can equal the voices of solitude? What sights equal the movement of a single day’s tide of light across the floor boards of one room? What drama be as continuously absorbing as the interior one?”
    —Jessamyn West (1902–1984)
