Surface Structures

Famous quotes containing the words surface and/or structures:

    Brave men are all vertebrates; they have their softness on the surface and their toughness in the middle.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    It is clear that all verbal structures with meaning are verbal imitations of that elusive psychological and physiological process known as thought, a process stumbling through emotional entanglements, sudden irrational convictions, involuntary gleams of insight, rationalized prejudices, and blocks of panic and inertia, finally to reach a completely incommunicable intuition.
    Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
