Famous quotes containing the words shape, parameters and/or approach:

    “It is as real

    calling me, calling you.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “What our children have to fear is not the cars on the highways of tomorrow but our own pleasure in calculating the most elegant parameters of their deaths.”
