Relative Uniform Motion

Famous quotes containing the words relative, uniform and/or motion:

    “Personal change, growth, development, identity formation—these tasks that once were thought to belong to childhood and adolescence alone now are recognized as part of adult life as well. Gone is the belief that adulthood is, or ought to be, a time of internal peace and comfort, that growing pains belong only to the young; gone the belief that these are marker events—a job, a mate, a child—through which we will pass into a life of relative ease.”
    —Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)

    “Thus for each blunt-faced ignorant one
    The great grey rigid uniform combined
    Safety with virtue of the sun.
    Thus concepts linked like chainmail in the mind.”
    —Thom Gunn (b. 1929)

    “A movement is only composed of people moving. To feel its warmth and motion around us is the end as well as the means.”
    —Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
