Famous quotes containing the words line and/or passing:

    “Today, the notion of progress in a single line without goal or limit seems perhaps the most parochial notion of a very parochial century.”
    —Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)

    “We live between two worlds; we soar in the atmosphere; we creep upon the soil; we have the aspirations of creators and the propensities of quadrupeds. There can be but one explanation of this fact. We are passing from the animal into a higher form, and the drama of this planet is in its second act.”
    —W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
