Famous quotes containing the words degree and/or connections:
“But in every constitution some large degree of animal vigor is necessary as material foundation for the higher qualities of the art.”

“I have no connections here; only gusty collisions,
rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse.

a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.
People want to push the buttons and see me glow.”
