Wall Motion

Famous quotes containing the words wall and/or motion:

“Something inspires the only cow of late
To make no more of a wall than an open gate,
And think no more of wall-builders than fools.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“It is the fixed that horrifies us, the fixed that assails us with the tremendous force of mindlessness. The fixed is a Mason jar, and we can’t beat it open. ...The fixed is a world without fire--dead flint, dead tinder, and nowhere a spark. It is motion without direction, force without power, the aimless procession of caterpillars round the rim of a vase, and I hate it because at any moment I myself might step to that charmed and glistening thread.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
