Growth Stage

Famous quotes containing the words growth and/or stage:

    “You know that the nucleus of a time is not
    The poet but the poem, the growth of the mind
    Of the world, the heroic effort to live expressed
    As victory. The poet does not speak in ruins
    Nor stand there making orotund consolations.
    He shares the confusions of intelligence.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “She does not realize that the only difference between us is that she is on one stage and I on another. I feel that I am acting just as much as she is.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
