Famous quotes containing the words installed 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)

    “Taste is nothing but an enlarged capacity for receiving pleasure from works of imagination.”
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
