Skin/mechanics

Famous quotes containing the words skin and/or mechanics:

    At first I said, “I will not bear
    His cross upon my back;
    He only seeks to place it there
    Because my skin is black.”
    Countee Cullen (1903–1946)

    the moderate Aristotelian city
    Of darning and the Eight-Fifteen, where Euclid’s geometry
    And Newton’s mechanics would account for our experience,
    And the kitchen table exists because I scrub it.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
