Famous quotes containing the words coal and/or network:
“And in their blazing solitude
The stars sang in their sockets through the night:
Blow bright, blow bright
The coal of this unquickened world.”
—Philip Larkin (19221986)
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
