Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or square:
“My idea is that the world outside—the so-called modern world—can only pervert and degrade the conceptions of the primitive instinct of art and feeling, and that our only chance is to accept the limited number of survivors—the one- in-a-thousand of born artists and poets—and to intensify the energy of feeling within that radiant centre.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“Houses haunt me.
That last house!
How it sat like a square box!”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
