Outer Measures

Famous quotes containing the words outer and/or measures:

    After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say “I WANT TO SEE THE MANAGER.”
    William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. The fluviatile trees next the shore are the slender eyelashes which fringe it, and the wooded hills and cliffs around are its overhanging brows.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
