Wilson Cloud

Famous quotes containing the words wilson and/or cloud:

    “It was a very lonely spirit that looked out from under those shaggy brows and comprehended men without fully communicating with them, as if, in spite of all its genial efforts at comradeship, it dwelt apart, saw its visions of duty where no man looked on.... This strange child of the cabin kept company with invisible things, was born into no intimacy but that its own silently assembling and deploying thoughts.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “The sea was wet as wet could be,
    The sands were dry as dry.
    You could not see a cloud, because
    No cloud was in the sky:
    No birds were flying overhead—
    There were no birds to fly.”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
