Famous quotes containing the words fixed, point and/or free:
“It is the fixed that horrifies us, the fixed that assails us with the tremendous force of mindlessness. The fixed is a Mason jar, and we can’t beat it open. ...The fixed is a world without fire--dead flint, dead tinder, and nowhere a spark. It is motion without direction, force without power, the aimless procession of caterpillars round the rim of a vase, and I hate it because at any moment I myself might step to that charmed and glistening thread.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
“The point of vision and desire are the same.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Promiscuity: optimism, free enterprise, mobility—the American Dream.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
