Body Axis

Famous quotes containing the words body and/or axis:

“Gin a body meet a body
Flyin’ through the air,
Gin a body hit a body,
Will it fly? and where?”
—James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879)

“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)
