Famous quotes containing the words central and/or position:
“For us necessity is not as of old an image without us, with whom we can do warfare; it is a magic web woven through and through us, like that magnetic system of which modern science speaks, penetrating us with a network subtler than our subtlest nerves, yet bearing in it the central forces of the world.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“People who are in a fortunate position always attribute virtue to what makes them so happy.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
