Ring Closing Metathesis

Famous quotes containing the words ring and/or closing:

    Ring out the old, ring in the new,
    Ring happy bells, across the snow:
    The year is going, let him go;
    Ring out the false, ring in the true.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    Our two eyes do not make our lot better; one serves us to see the good things, the other the evils of life. A lot of people have the bad habit of closing the first, and very few close the second.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
