Subject Positions

Famous quotes containing the words subject and/or positions:

“For an introvert his environment is himself and can never be subject to startling or unforeseen change.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

“The season developed and matured. Another year’s installment of flowers, leaves, nightingales, thrushes, finches, and such ephemeral creatures, took up their positions where only a year ago others had stood in their place when these were nothing more than germs and inorganic particles. Rays from the sunrise drew forth the buds and stretched them into long stalks, lifted up sap in noiseless streams, opened petals, and sucked out scents in invisible jets and breathings.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
