Famous quotes containing the words fragmentary and/or plays:

    “Why make so much of fragmentary blue
    In here and there a bird, or butterfly,
    Or flower, or wearing-stone, or open eye,
    When heaven presents in sheets the solid hue?”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Even in writing an annual report, the unconscious plays a role.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
