Famous quotes containing the words circle and/or meeting:
“Writing about an idea frees me of it. Thinking about it is a circle of repetitions.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“I have seen some who did not know when to turn aside their eyes in meeting yours. A truly confident and magnanimous spirit is wiser than to contend for the mastery in such encounters. Serpents alone conquer by the steadiness of their gaze. My friend looks me in the face and sees me, that is all.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
