Famous quotes containing the word strings:
“There are strings in the human heart that had better not be vibrated.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“Bow, stubborn knees, and heart, with strings of steel,
Be soft as sinews of the new-born babe!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
