Famous quotes containing the words operation, sharp and/or edge:
“An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique and consequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.”
—Henri Bergson (1859–1941)
“There cannot be a pinch in death
More sharp than this is.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“As I came to the edge of the woods,
Thrush music—hark!
Now if it was dusk outside,
Inside it was dark.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
