Full Abstraction

Famous quotes containing the words full and/or abstraction:

    The children are all crying in their pens
    and the surf carries their cries away.
    They are old men who have seen too much,
    their mouths are full of dirty clothes,
    the tongues poverty, tears like pus.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    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)
