Famous quotes containing the word popular:

    “For those that love the world serve it in action,
    Grow rich, popular and full of influence,
    And should they paint or write, still it is action:
    The struggle of the fly in marmalade.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The poet needs a ground in popular tradition on which he may work, and which, again, may restrain his art within the due temperance. It holds him to the people, supplies a foundation for his edifice; and, in furnishing so much work done to his hand, leaves him at leisure, and in full strength for the audacities of his imagination.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “If they have a popular thought they have to go into a darkened room and lie down until it passes.”
    —Kelvin MacKenzie (b. 1946)
