Rigid

Famous quotes containing the word rigid:

    I found a dimpled spider, fat and white,
    On a white heal-all, holding up a moth
    Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth—
    Assorted characters of death and blight
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    They work, and age, and put off men
    By being unattractive, or too shy,
    Or having morals anyhow, none give in:
    Some of them go quite rigid with disgust
    At anything but marriage....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Success makes men rigid and they tend to exalt stability over all the other virtues; tired of the effort of willing they become fanatics about conservatism.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
