Famous quotes containing the words split, group, odd and/or dimension:

    “In case I conk out, this is provisionally what I have to do: I must clarify obscurities; I must make clearer definite ideas or dissociations. I must find a verbal formula to combat the rise of brutality—the principle of order versus the split atom.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “No group and no government can properly prescribe precisely what should constitute the body of knowledge with which true education is concerned.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “Actually being married seemed so crowded with unspoken rules and odd secrets and unfathomable responsibilities that it had no more occurred to her to imagine being married herself than it had to imagine driving a motorcycle or having a job. She had, however, thought about being a bride, which had more to do with being the center of attention and looking inexplicably, temporarily beautiful than it did with sharing a double bed with someone with hairy legs and a drawer full of boxer shorts.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “By intervening in the Vietnamese struggle the United States was attempting to fit its global strategies into a world of hillocks and hamlets, to reduce its majestic concerns for the containment of communism and the security of the Free World to a dimension where governments rose and fell as a result of arguments between two colonels’ wives.”
    —Frances Fitzgerald (b. 1940)
