Full Abstraction

Famous quotes containing the words full and/or abstraction:

    “A boy not beautiful, nor good, nor clever,
    A black cloud full of storms too hot for keeping,
    A sword beneath his mother’s heart— yet never
    Woman bewept her babe as this is weeping.”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    “There’s no such thing as socialism pure
    Except as an abstraction of the mind.
    There’s only democratic socialism,
    Monarchic socialism, oligarchic
    The last being what they seem to have in Russia.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
