Famous quotes containing the words points and/or system:
“Type of the wise, who soar, but never roam
True to the kindred points of Heaven and Home!”
—William Wordsworth (17701850)
“In a universe that is all gradations of matter, from gross to fine to finer, so that we end up with everything we are composed of in a lattice, a grid, a mesh, a mist, where particles or movements so small we cannot observe them are held in a strict and accurate web, that is nevertheless nonexistent to the eyes we use for ordinary livingin this system of fine and finer, where then is the substance of a thought?”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
