Rocking Weight

Famous quotes containing the words rocking and/or weight:

“Another time I go outside
Into the world. It rocks on and on.
It was rocking before I saw it
And is presumably doing so still.”

The strain lies heaviest on the weakest part,
One tiny crack throughout the structure spreads,
And its own weight soon brings it toppling down.”
