Line

Famous quotes containing the word line:

    When I had mapped the pond ... I laid a rule on the map lengthwise, and then breadthwise, and found, to my surprise, that the line of greatest length intersected the line of greatest breadth exactly at the point of greatest depth.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I love them
    for finding what
    I can’t find,
    and for loving me
    for the line I wrote,
    and for forgetting it....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The line it is drawn
    The curse it is cast
    The slow one now
    Will later be fast
    As the present now
    Will later be past
    The order is
    Rapidly fadin’.
    And the first one now
    Will later be last
    For the times they are a-changin’.
    Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
