Easy Axis

Famous quotes containing the words easy and/or axis:

    I dread no more the first white in my hair,
    Or even age itself, the easy shoe,
    The cane, the wrinkled hands, the special chair:
    Time, doing this to me, may alter too
    My anguish, into something I can bear.
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    A book is not an autonomous entity: it is a relation, an axis of innumerable relations. One literature differs from another, be it earlier or later, not because of the texts but because of the way they are read: if I could read any page from the present time—this one, for instance—as it will be read in the year 2000, I would know what the literature of the year 2000 would be like.
    Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
