Famous quotes containing the words absolute and/or aperture:
“It is an absolute and virtually divine perfection to know how to enjoy our being rightfully.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Animals used to provide a lowlife way to kill and get away with it, as they do still, but, more intriguingly, for some people they are an aperture through which wounds drain. The scapegoat of olden times, driven off for the bystanders’ sins, has become a tender thing, a running injury. There, running away ... is me: hurt it and you are hurting me.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
