Finite Flat Resolution

Famous quotes containing the words finite, flat and/or resolution:

    All finite things reveal infinitude:
    Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    But pardon, gentles all,
    The flat unraised spirits that hath dared
    On this unworthy scaffold to bring forth
    So great an object.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Some hours seem not to be occasion for any deed, but for resolves to draw breath in. We do not directly go about the execution of the purpose that thrills us, but shut our doors behind us and ramble with prepared mind, as if the half were already done. Our resolution is taking root or hold on the earth then, as seeds first send a shoot downward which is fed by their own albumen, ere they send one upward to the light.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
