Overhead Plan View

Famous quotes containing the words overhead, plan and/or view:

“During a walk or in a book or in the middle of an embrace, suddenly I awake to a stark amazement at everything. The bare fact of existence paralyzes me... To be alive is so incredible that all I can do is to lie still and merely breathe—like an infant on its back in a cot. It is impossible to be interested in anything in particular while overhead the sun shines or underneath my feet grows a single blade of grass.”
—W.N.P. Barbellion (1889–1919)

“some little plan or chart,
Some fragment from his dream of human life,
Shaped by himself with newly-learned art;”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

“Persistence in a single view has never been regarded as a merit in political leaders.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
