Famous quotes containing the word structure:

    “When a house is tottering to its fall,
    The strain lies heaviest on the weakest part,
    One tiny crack throughout the structure spreads,
    And its own weight soon brings it toppling down.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    “A special feature of the structure of our book is the monstrous but perfectly organic part that eavesdropping plays in it.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “If rightly made, a boat would be a sort of amphibious animal, a creature of two elements, related by one half its structure to some swift and shapely fish, and by the other to some strong-winged and graceful bird.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
