Small Plain

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or plain:

    “The future of humanity is uncertain, even in the most prosperous countries, and the quality of life deteriorates; and yet I believe that what is being discovered about the infinitely large and infinitely small is sufficient to absolve this end of the century and millennium. What a very few are acquiring in knowledge of the physical world will perhaps cause this period not to be judged as a pure return of barbarism.”
    —Primo Levi (1919–1987)

    “And at dawn, the drums still beat on the sleepless plain like an unstoppable heart.”
    —Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
