Material Shape

Famous quotes containing the words material and/or shape:

“Every word which is used to express a moral or intellectual fact, if traced to its root, is found to be borrowed from some material appearance.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“What man dare, I dare.
Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear,
The armed rhinoceros, or the Hyrcan tiger;
Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves
Shall never tremble. Or be alive again
And dare me to the desert with thy sword.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
