Flat Connection

Famous quotes containing the words flat and/or connection:

    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)

    We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast, but when we say this we imagine that hour as placed in an obscure and distant future. It never occurs to us that it has any connection with the day already begun or that death could arrive this same afternoon, this afternoon which is so certain and which has every hour filled in advance.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
