Famous quotes containing the words monster, lie and/or algebra:

    You have not yet learned that in this life you have to be like everyone else: the perfect mediocrity—no better, no worse. Individuality is a monster and it must be strangled in its cradle to make our friends feel comfortable.
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

    Equilibrists lie here; stranger, tread light;
    Close, but untouching in each other’s sight;
    Mouldered the lips and ashy the tall skull.
    Let them lie perilous and beautiful.
    John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)

    Poetry has become the higher algebra of metaphors.
    José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
