Famous quotes containing the word surface:

    “How easily it falls, how easily I let drift
    On the surface of morning feathers of self-reproach:
    How easily I disperse the scolding of snow.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Nature centres into balls,
    And her proud ephemerals,
    Fast to surface and outside,
    Scan the profile of the sphere;
    Knew they what that signified,
    A new genesis were here.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
