Famous quotes containing the words stamp and/or details:
“Only a still place
and perhaps some outer horror
some hideousness to stamp beauty,
a mark no changing it now
on our hearts.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“Different persons growing up in the same language are like different bushes trimmed and trained to take the shape of identical elephants. The anatomical details of twigs and branches will fulfill the elephantine form differently from bush to bush, but the overall outward results are alike.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
