Total Float

Famous quotes containing the words total and/or float:

    [The sceptic] must acknowledge, if he will acknowledge any thing, that all human life must perish, were his principles to prevail. All discourse, all action would immediately cease, and men remain in a total lethargy, till the necessities of nature, unsatisfied, put an end to their miserable existence.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    For all this sea-hoard of deciduous things,
    Strange woods half sodden, and new brighter stuff:
    In the slow float of differing light and deep,
    No! there is nothing! In the whole and all,
    Nothing that’s quite your own.
    Yet this is you.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
