Famous quotes containing the word structure:

    “Communism is a proposition to structure the world more reasonably, a proposition for changing the world. As such, we have to analyze it and, if we deem it reasonable, act upon it.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    “A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.”
    —C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)

    “A special feature of the structure of our book is the monstrous but perfectly organic part that eavesdropping plays in it.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
