Point Circles

Famous quotes containing the words point and/or circles:

    For pain is perhaps but a violent pleasure? Who could determine the point where pleasure becomes pain, where pain is still a pleasure? Is not the utmost brightness of the ideal world soothing to us, while the lightest shadows of the physical world annoy?

    There are some circles in America where it seems to be more socially acceptable to carry a hand-gun than a packet of cigarettes.
