Famous quotes containing the words extinction and/or event:
“The problems of this world are only truly solved in two ways: by extinction or duplication.”

“The event combined with
Beams leading up to it for the look of force adapted to the wiser
Usages of age, but it’s both there
And not there, like washing or sawdust in the sunlight,
At the back of the mind, where we live now.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
