Point Spread

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or spread:

    A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.
    Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

    All catches alight
    At the spread of spring:
    Birds crazed with flight
    Branches that fling
    Leaves up to the light
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
