Famous quotes containing the words stevens and/or fame:
“At the earliest ending of winter,
In March, a scrawny cry from outside
Seemed like a sound in his mind.
He knew that he heard it,
A bird’s cry, at daylight or before,
In the early March wind.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The best people renounce all for one goal, the eternal fame of mortals; but most people stuff themselves like cattle.”
