Constant Width

Famous quotes containing the words constant and/or width:

    “For me, it is as though at every moment the actual world had completely lost its actuality. As though there was nothing there; as though there were no foundations for anything or as though it escaped us. Only one thing, however, is vividly present: the constant tearing of the veil of appearances; the constant destruction of everything in construction. Nothing holds together, everything falls apart.”
    —Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)

    “Newly stumbling to and fro
    All they find, outside the fold,
    Is a wretched width of cold.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
