Famous quotes containing the words axis, advance and/or fleet:
“A book is not an autonomous entity: it is a relation, an axis of innumerable relations. One literature differs from another, be it earlier or later, not because of the texts but because of the way they are read: if I could read any page from the present time—this one, for instance—as it will be read in the year 2000, I would know what the literature of the year 2000 would be like.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“Some ne’er advance a judgment of their own,
But catch the spreading notion of the town;”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“They ... fleet the time carelessly, as they did in the golden world.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
