Famous quotes containing the words solitary and/or nucleus:
“Only solitary men know the full joys of friendship. Others have their family—but to a solitary and an exile his friends are everything.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“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)
