Famous quotes containing the words width and/or fabric:
“Newly stumbling to and fro
All they find, outside the fold,
Is a wretched width of cold.”

“Here [in London, history] ... seemed the very fabric of things, as if the city were a single growth of stone and brick, uncounted strata of message and meaning, age upon age, generated over the centuries to the dictates of some now all-but-unreadable DNA of commerce and empire.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
