Relative Consistency

Famous quotes containing the words relative and/or consistency:

    She went in there to muse on being rid
    Of relative beneath the coffin lid.
    No one was by. She stuck her tongue out; slid.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    People who love only once in their lives are ... shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination. Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect—simply a confession of failures.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
