Wave Shape

Famous quotes containing the words wave and/or shape:

    I hear
    the tide turning. Last
    eager wave over-
    taken and pulled back
    by first wave of the ebb.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    It is only a short step from exaggerating what we can find in the world to exaggerating our power to remake the world. Expecting more novelty than there is, more greatness than there is, and more strangeness than there is, we imagine ourselves masters of a plastic universe. But a world we can shape to our will ... is a shapeless world.
    Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
