Closed Curves

Famous quotes containing the words closed and/or curves:

“The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

“At the end of every diet, the path curves back toward the trough.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
