Famous quotes containing the words block and/or set:
“Being dismantled before our eyes are not just individual programs that politicians cite as too expensive but the whole idea that society has a stake in the well-being of children down the block and the security of families on the other side of town. Whether or not kids eat well, are nurtured and have a roof over their heads is not just a consequence of how their parents behave. It is also a responsibility of society—but now apparently a diminishing one.”
—Richard B. Stolley (20th century)
“And set off briskly for so slow a thing,
Still going every which way in the joints, though,
So that it looked like lightning or a scribble.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
