Horizontal Wheel

Famous quotes containing the words horizontal and/or wheel:

    “In bourgeois society, the French and the industrial revolution transformed the authorization of political space. The political revolution put an end to the formalized hierarchy of the ancien regimé.... Concurrently, the industrial revolution subverted the social hierarchy upon which the old political space was based. It transformed the experience of society from one of vertical hierarchy to one of horizontal class stratification.”
    —Donald M. Lowe, U.S. historian, educator. History of Bourgeois Perception, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1982)

    “Having a wheel and four legs of its own
    Has never availed the cumbersome grindstone
    To get it anywhere that I can see.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
