Famous quotes containing the words fitzgerald and/or barons:
“Its very good for an idea to be commonplace. The important thing is that a new idea should develop out of what is already there so that it soon becomes an old acquaintance. Old acquaintances arent by any means always welcome, but at least one cant be mistaken as to who or what they are.”
—Penelope Fitzgerald (b. 1916)
“We live by our imaginations, by our admirations, by our sentiments. The child walks amid heaps of illusions, which he does not like to have disturbed. The boy, how sweet to him his fancy! how dear the story of barons and battles! What a hero he is, whilst he feeds on his heroes! What a debt is his to imaginative books!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
