Main Span

Famous quotes containing the words main and/or span:

“Whoever considers morality the main objective of human existence, seems to me like a person who defines the purpose of a clock as not going wrong. The first objective for a clock, is, however, that it does run; not going wrong is an additional regulative function. If not a watch’s greatest accomplishment were not going wrong, unwound watches might be the best.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“The last bear, shot drinking in the Dakotas
Loped under wires that span the mountain stream.”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
