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)
“One would never have guessed that the world had such a capacity for genuine grief. The most we can do is exploit our memories of his excellence.”
—John Cheever (1912–1982)
