Ren%C3%A9 Moore/influence

Famous quotes containing the words moore and/or influence:

    a place as kind as it is green,
    the greenest place I’ve never seen.
    Every name is a tune.
    —Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    For character too is a process and an unfolding ... among our valued friends is there not someone or other who is a little too self confident and disdainful; whose distinguished mind is a little spotted with commonness; who is a little pinched here and protruberent there with native prejudices; or whose better energies are liable to lapse down the wrong channel under the influence of transient solicitations?
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
