Famous quotes containing the words white, corner and/or letters:

    It was the pine alone, chiefly the white pine, that had tempted any but the hunter to precede us on this route.

    And with the corner of a Creed,
    The more shall be your meed.
    John Skelton (1460?–1529)

    American thinking, when it concerns itself with beautiful letters as when it concerns itself with religious dogma or political theory, is extraordinarily timid and superficial ... [I]t evades the genuinely serious problems of art and life as if they were stringently taboo ... [T]he outward virtues it undoubtedly shows are always the virtues, not of profundity, not of courage, not of originality, but merely those of an emasculated and often very trashy dilettantism.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
