Neutral Corner

Famous quotes containing the words neutral and/or corner:

    The seashore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from which to contemplate this world. It is even a trivial place. The waves forever rolling to the land are too far-traveled and untamable to be familiar. Creeping along the endless beach amid the sun-squall and the foam, it occurs to us that we, too, are the product of sea-slime.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Good Lord, for alliance! Thus goes every one to the world but I, and I am sunburnt; I may sit in a corner and cry “Heigh-ho for a husband!”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
