Famous quotes containing the words strange and/or loops:
“Like strange mechanical grotesques,
Making fantastic arabesques,
The shadows raced across the blind.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“An accurate charting of the American woman’s progress through history might look more like a corkscrew tilted slightly to one side, its loops inching closer to the line of freedom with the passage of time—but like a mathematical curve approaching infinity, never touching its goal. . . . Each time, the spiral turns her back just short of the finish line.”
—Susan Faludi (20th century)
