Famous quotes containing the words absorbed and/or town:
“One cannot long remain so absorbed in contemplation of emptiness without being increasingly attracted to it. In vain one bestows on it the name of infinity; this does not change its nature. When one feels such pleasure in non- existence, one’s inclination can be completely satisfied only by completely ceasing to exist.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
“A town debars
Much notice of what’s going on in stars.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
