Famous quotes containing the words closed, smooth and/or manifold:
“What I call middle-class society is any society that becomes rigidified in predetermined forms, forbidding all evolution, all gains, all progress, all discovery. I call middle-class a closed society in which life has no taste, in which the air is tainted, in which ideas and men are corrupt. And I think that a man who takes a stand against this death is in a sense a revolutionary.”
—Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
“From Rumor’s tongues
They bring smooth comforts false, worse than true wrongs.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“She ran down the stair
A twelve-year-old darling
And laughing and calling
She tossed her bright hair;”
