Famous quotes containing the words melting, point and/or increases:

    “O ruddier than the cherry,
    O sweeter than the berry,
    O Nymph more bright
    Than moonshine night,
    Like kidlings blithe and merry.
    Ripe as the melting cluster,
    No lily has such lustre,
    Yet hard to tame,
    As raging flame,
    And fierce as storms that bluster.”
    —John Gay (1685–1732)

    “The point of vision and desire are the same.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio. Subsistence increases only in an arithmetical ratio. A slight acquaintance with numbers will show the immensity of the first power in comparison of the second.”
    —Thomas Robert Malthus (1766–1834)
