Standard Part

Famous quotes containing the words standard and/or part:

“There is a certain standard of grace and beauty which consists in a certain relation between our nature, such as it is, weak or strong, and the thing which pleases us. Whatever is formed according to this standard pleases us, be it house, song, discourse, verse, prose, woman, birds, rivers, trees, room, dress, and so on. Whatever is not made according to this standard displeases those who have good taste.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

“As she laughed I was aware of becoming involved in her laughter
and being part of it, until her teeth were only accidental stars with
a talent for squad-drill.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
