Closed Smooth Manifold

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

    And laughing and calling
    She tossed her bright hair;
    —John Streeter Manifold (b. 1915)
