Famous quotes containing the words moment and/or area:

Has no secret, is small, and it fits
Its hollow perfectly: its room, our moment of attention.”

“If you meet a sectary, or a hostile partisan, never recognize the dividing lines; but meet on what common ground remains,—if only that the sun shines, and the rain rains for both; the area will widen very fast, and ere you know it the boundary mountains, on which the eye had fastened, have melted into air.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
