European Green

Famous quotes containing the words european and/or green:

“In European thought in general, as contrasted with American, vigor, life and originality have a kind of easy, professional utterance. American—on the other hand, is expressed in an eager amateurish way. A European gives a sense of scope, of survey, of consideration. An American is strained, sensational. One is artistic gold; the other is bullion.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“My salad days,
When I was green in judgment, cold in blood,
To say as I said then!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
