Confined

Famous quotes containing the word confined:

    For Jeremy, direct, unmediated experience was always hard to take in, always more or less disquieting. Life became safe, things assumed meaning, only when they had been translated into words and confined between the covers of a book.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    If I were confined to a corner of a garret all my days, like a spider, the world would be just as large to me while I had my thoughts about me.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    By nature, by necessity itself, [primitive man] is encyclopedic, while civilized man finds himself confined in the infinitely small regions of specialization.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
