Passing Loops

Famous quotes containing the words passing and/or loops:

“Man watches his history on the screen with apathy and an occasional passing flicker of horror or indignation.”

“An accurate charting of the American woman’s progress through history might look more like a corkscrew tilted slightly to one side, its loops inching closer to the line of freedom with the passage of time—but like a mathematical curve approaching infinity, never touching its goal. . . . Each time, the spiral turns her back just short of the finish line.”
—Susan Faludi (20th century)
