Famous quotes containing the word break:
“In our own presence, we all pretend to be simpler than we are: thus we take a break from our fellow human beings.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“One way to do it might be by making the scenery penetrate the automobile. A polished black sedan was a good subject, especially if parked at the intersection of a tree-bordered street and one of those heavyish spring skies whose bloated gray clouds and amoeba-shaped blotches of blue seem more physical than the reticent elms and effusive pavement. Now break the body of the car into separate curves and panels; then put it together in terms of reflections.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“If you say, I love you, then you have already fallen in love with language, which is already a form of break up and infidelity.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
