Blocks

Famous quotes containing the word blocks:

    Good blocks of oak it was I split,
    As large around as the chopping block;
    And every piece I squarely hit
    Fell splinterless as a cloven rock.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning. Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers.
    Erich Fromm (1900–1980)

    The vast silence of Buddha overtakes
    and overrules the oncoming roar
    of tragic life that fills alleys and avenues;
    it blocks the way of pedicabs, police, convoys.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
