Famous quotes containing the words parallel and/or time:
“There isn’t a Parallel of Latitude but thinks it would have been the Equator if it had had its rights.”

“Forgetfulness is necessary to remembrance. Ideas are retained by renovation of that impression which time is always wearing away, and which new images are striving to obliterate. If useless thoughts could be expelled from the mind, all the valuable parts of our knowledge would more frequently recur, and every recurrence would reinstate them in their former place.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
