Concave Surface

Famous quotes containing the words concave and/or surface:

“I think he is not a pick-purse nor a horse-stealer, but
for his verity in love, I do think him as concave as a covered goblet or a worm-eaten nut.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“We say justly that the weak person is flat, for, like all flat substances, he does not stand in the direction of his strength, that is, on his edge, but affords a convenient surface to put upon. He slides all the way through life.... But the brave man is a perfect sphere, which cannot fall on its flat side and is equally strong every way.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
