Famous quotes containing the words fort and/or stevens:

    Superstition? Who can define the boundary line between the superstition of yesterday and the scientific fact of tomorrow?
    —Garrett Fort (1900–1945)

    The whole appearance is a toy. For this,
    The dove in the belly builds his nest and coos,
    Selah, tempestuous bird. How is it that
    The rivers shine and hold their mirrors up,
    Like excellence collecting excellence?
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
