Drift Instability

Famous quotes containing the words drift and/or instability:

“But now they drift on the still water,
Mysterious, beautiful;”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“The difference between tragedy and comedy is the difference between experience and intuition. In the experience we strive against every condition of our animal life: against death, against the frustration of ambition, against the instability of human love. In the intuition we trust the arduous eccentricities we’re born to, and see the oddness of a creature who has never got acclimatized to being created.”
—Christopher Fry (b. 1907)
