Fixed Point Type

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

    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)

    He left the name, at which the world grew pale,
    To point a moral, or adorn a tale.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    To play safe, I prefer to accept only one type of power: the power of art over trash, the triumph of magic over the brute.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
