Fixed Point Free

Famous quotes containing the words fixed, point and/or free:

    Words can have no single fixed meaning. Like wayward electrons, they can spin away from their initial orbit and enter a wider magnetic field. No one owns them or has a proprietary right to dictate how they will be used.
    David Lehman (b. 1948)

    I have touched the highest point of all my greatness,
    And from that full meridian of my glory
    I haste now to my setting. I shall fall
    Like a bright exhalation in the evening,
    And no man see me more.
    John Fletcher (1579–1625)

    I believe the declaration that “all men are created equal” is the great fundamental principle upon which our free institutions rest.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
