Famous quotes containing the words installed, wind, energy and/or capacity:

    “Poetry seems to have been eliminated as a literary genre, and installed instead, as a kind of spiritual aerobic exercise—nobody need read it, but anybody can do it.”
    —Marilyn Hacker (b. 1942)

    “Wind feeds the fire, and wind extinguishes:
    The flames are nourished by a gentle breeze,
    Yet, if it stronger grows, they sink and die.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    “Parents find many different ways to work their way through the assertiveness of their two-year-olds, but seeing that assertiveness as positive energy being directed toward growth as a competent individual may open up some new possibilities.”
    —Fred Rogers (20th century)

    “Rice and peas fit into that category of dishes where two ordinary foods, combined together, ignite a pleasure far beyond the capacity of either of its parts alone. Like rhubarb and strawberries, apple pie and cheese, roast pork and sage, the two tastes and textures meld together into the sort of subtle transcendental oneness that we once fantasized would be our experience when we finally found the ideal mate.”
    —John Thorne, U.S. cookbook writer. Simple Cooking, “Rice and Peas: A Preface with Recipes,” Viking Penguin (1987)
