Point Center

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or center:

    Ideals possess the strange quality that if they were completely realized they would turn into nonsense. One could easily follow a commandment such as “Thou shalt not kill” to the point of dying of starvation; and I might establish the formula that for the proper functioning of the mesh of our ideals, as in the case of a strainer, the holes are just as important as the mesh.
    Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    Against the Word the unstilled world still whirled
    About the center of the silent Word.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
