Fixed Drag Curve

Famous quotes containing the words fixed, drag and/or curve:

    “Museums, museums, museums, object-lessons rigged out to illustrate the unsound theories of archaeologists, crazy attempts to co-ordinate and get into a fixed order that which has no fixed order and will not be co-ordinated! It is sickening! Why must all experience be systematized?... A museum is not a first-hand contact: it is an illustrated lecture. And what one wants is the actual vital touch.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “Since man began
    To drag down man
    And nation nation.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The years-heired feature that can
    In curve and voice and eye
    Despise the human span
    Of durance—that is I;
    The eternal thing in man,
    That heeds no call to die.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
