Famous quotes containing the words compass and/or turns:
“loosely bound
By countless silken ties of love and thought
To everything on earth the compass round,”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The organization controlling the material equipment of our everyday life is such that what in itself would enable us to construct it richly plunges us instead into a poverty of abundance, making alienation all the more intolerable as each convenience promises liberation and turns out to be only one more burden. We are condemned to slavery to the means of liberation.”
—Raoul Vaneigem (b. 1934)
