Promenade Position

Famous quotes containing the words promenade and/or position:

    The day of the sun is like the day of a king. It is a promenade in the morning, a sitting on the throne at noon, a pageant in the evening.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Einstein is loved because he is gentle, respected because he is wise. Relativity being not for most of us, we elevate its author to a position somewhere between Edison, who gave us a tangible gleam, and God, who gave us the difficult dark and the hope of penetrating it.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
