Central Pillar

Famous quotes containing the words central and/or pillar:

“For us necessity is not as of old an image without us, with whom we can do warfare; it is a magic web woven through and through us, like that magnetic system of which modern science speaks, penetrating us with a network subtler than our subtlest nerves, yet bearing in it the central forces of the world.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)

“Fame’s pillar here, at last, we set,
Out-during marble, brass, or jet,”
