Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or lines:
“I want people to be sincere; a man of honor shouldn’t speak a single word that doesn’t come straight from his heart.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
“It is the Late city that first defies the land, contradicts Nature in the lines of its silhouette, denies all Nature. It wants to be something different from and higher than Nature. These high-pitched gables, these Baroque cupolas, spires, and pinnacles, neither are, nor desire to be, related with anything in Nature. And then begins the gigantic megalopolis, the city-as-world, which suffers nothing beside itself and sets about annihilating the country picture.”
—Oswald Spengler (1880–1936)
