Constrained System

Famous quotes containing the words constrained and/or system:

    An expansive life, one not constrained by four walls, requires as well an expansive pocket.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    In a universe that is all gradations of matter, from gross to fine to finer, so that we end up with everything we are composed of in a lattice, a grid, a mesh, a mist, where particles or movements so small we cannot observe them are held in a strict and accurate web, that is nevertheless nonexistent to the eyes we use for ordinary living—in this system of fine and finer, where then is the substance of a thought?
    Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
