Negative Concord

Famous quotes containing the words negative and/or concord:

    The negative always wins at last, but I like it none the better for that.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Nature seemed to have adorned herself for our departure with a profusion of fringes and curls, mingled with the bright tints of flowers, reflected in the water. But we missed the white water-lily, which is the queen of river flowers, its reign being over for this season.... Many of this species inhabit our Concord water.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
