World Officially Released

Famous quotes containing the words world, officially and/or released:

    “Teach me half the gladness
    That thy brain must know,
    Such harmonious madness
    From my lips would flow,
    The world should listen then, as I am listening now.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “At a time when pimpery, lick-spittlery, and picking the public’s pocket are the order of the day—indeed, officially proclaimed as virtue—the poet must play the madcap to keep his balance. And ours.”
    —Studs Terkel (b. 1912)

    “the walk liberating, I was released from forms,
    from the perpendiculars,
    straight lines, blocks, boxes, binds
    of thought
    into the hues, shadings, rises, flowing bends and blends
    of sight:”
    —Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
