Line Weight

Famous quotes containing the words line and/or weight:

“Writing fiction has developed in me an abiding respect for the unknown in a human lifetime and a sense of where to look for the threads, how to follow, how to connect, find in the thick of the tangle what clear line persists. The strands are all there: to the memory nothing is ever really lost.”
—Eudora Welty (b. 1909)

“A German immersed in any civilization different from his own loses a weight equivalent in volume to the amount of intelligence he displaces.”
