Top Surface

Famous quotes containing the words top and/or surface:

    I sweep. One gyrates like a top and falls
    And stunned, stone blind, and deaf
    Buzzes its frightful F
    And dies between three cannibals.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)

    There’s something tragic in the fate of almost every person—it’s just that the tragic is often concealed from a person by the banal surface of life.... A woman will complain of indigestion and not even know that what she means is that her whole life has been shattered.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
