Famous quotes containing the word simple:

    “a mind
    That nobleness made simple as a fire,
    With beauty like a tightened bow,”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The old-fashioned idea that the simple piling up of experiences, one on top of another, can make you an artist, is, of course, so much rubbish. If acting were just a matter of experience, then any busy harlot could make Garbo’s Camille pale.”
    —Helen Hayes (1900–1993)
