Famous quotes containing the words crystal and/or structure:

    “The crystal sphere of thought is as concentrical as the geological structure of the globe. As our soils and rocks lie in strata, concentric strata, so do all men’s thinkings run laterally, never vertically.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “When a house is tottering to its fall,
    The strain lies heaviest on the weakest part,
    One tiny crack throughout the structure spreads,
    And its own weight soon brings it toppling down.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
