Famous quotes containing the words east and/or gordon:
“It is the business of thought to define things, to find the boundaries; thought, indeed, is a ceaseless process of definition. It is the business of Art to give things shape. Anyone who takes no delight in the firm outline of an object, or in its essential character, has no artistic sense.... He cannot even be nourished by Art. Like Ephraim, he feeds upon the East wind, which has no boundaries.”
—Vance Palmer (1885–1959)
“My turn of mind is so given to taking things in the absurd point of view, that it breaks out in spite of me every now and then.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
