Positively Curved Manifolds

Famous quotes containing the words positively and/or curved:

“Readers are less and less seen as mere non-writers, the subhuman “other” or flawed derivative of the author; the lack of a pen is no longer a shameful mark of secondary status but a positively enabling space, just as within every writer can be seen to lurk, as a repressed but contaminating antithesis, a reader.”
—Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)

“They are not flat surfaces
Having curved outlines.
They are round
Tapering toward the top.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
