Dense

Famous quotes containing the word dense:

    While you’re playing cards with a regular guy or having a bite to eat with him, he seems a peaceable, good-humoured and not entirely dense person. But just begin a conversation with him about something inedible, politics or science, for instance, and he ends up in a deadend or starts in on such an obtuse and base philosophy that you can only wave your hand and leave.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    A dense undergrowth of extension cords sustains my upper world of lights, music, and machines of comfort.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    In the dense light of wakened flesh
    animal man is a prince. As from alabaster
    a lucency animates him from heel to forehead.
    Then his shadows are deep and not gray.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
