Famous quotes containing the words writing and/or system:
“When all things are equal, translucence in writing is more effective than transparency, just as glow is more revealing than glare.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“The human body is not a thing or substance, given, but a continuous creation. The human body is an energy system ... which is never a complete structure; never static; is in perpetual inner self-construction and self-destruction; we destroy in order to make it new.”
—Norman O. Brown (b. 1913)
