Point Spread

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or spread:

“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)

“We should spread joy, but, as far as we can, repress sorrow.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
