Center Axis

Famous quotes containing the words center and/or axis:

“It is written in the Book of Usable Minutes
That all things have their center in their dying....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“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)
