Fixed Point Free

Famous quotes containing the words fixed, point and/or free:

    The body is but a pair of pincers set over a bellows and a stewpan and the whole fixed upon stilts.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    It sometimes strikes me that the whole of science is a piece of impudence; that nature can afford to ignore our impertinent interference. If our monkey mischief should ever reach the point of blowing up the earth by decomposing an atom, and even annihilated the sun himself, I cannot really suppose that the universe would turn a hair.
    Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

    Our Luke shall leave us, Isabel; the land
    Shall not go from us, and it shall be free;
    He shall possess it, free as is the wind
    That passes over it.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
