Scale Types

Famous quotes containing the words scale and/or types:

“How many women does one need to sing the scale of love all the way up and down?”
—Georg Büchner (1813–1837)

“As for types like my own, obscurely motivated by the conviction that our existence was worthless if we didn’t make a turning point of it, we were assigned to the humanities, to poetry, philosophy, painting—the nursery games of humankind, which had to be left behind when the age of science began. The humanities would be called upon to choose a wallpaper for the crypt, as the end drew near.”
—Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
